Rumor: Netflix Planning IRON FIST Movie, PUNISHER TV Series
According to Peel the Orange, Marvel is considering replacing the Iron Fist series with a Punisher series. As it turns out, it could actually be a good thing for fans of Iron Fist, as the site just received this email from a source who works within Marvel Creative but wanted to remain anonymous:
"Marvel will be turning Iron Fist into a Netflix exclusive feature film. This will give Marvel extra time and a larger budget for this project. The Punisher will replace Iron Fist as one of the four Defenders."
Interesting. Take this with a grain of salt but that could be pretty cool. If you remember, this past summer the Netflix CEO said that they were open to making feature films for Marvel characters and this could be a way to start.
Rumor: Iron Fist to Become a Movie, The Punisher Replaces Iron Fist in Defenders?
Series would be better.
So do think down the line we'll see the likes of Spider-man, the Avengers and other Marvel Characters?
Ah man, hope Iron Fist happens.. After Daredevil I was really looking forward to it.
Little to no interest in Jessica Jones or a solo Luke Cage series. I mean, I'm gonna watch'em.
i thought iron fist wast one of the cooler characters as a kid
as an adult i think he's pretty lame.

Marvel and Netflix's IRON FIST Has Found Its Showrunner
Press Release: The Netflix Original Series Marvel’s Iron Fist has found its showrunner and Executive Producer in Scott Buck (Dexter, Six Feet Under)! Buck previously served as Executive Producer and showrunner of Dexter for the series’ final four years. He has also written for Six Feet Under and Rome, among other series.
“Scott came in with a take on Iron Fist that quite simply knocked us off our feet,” said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. “We always look for the most creative minds in the field to help us bring our heroes to life, and with Scott we’ve found someone that can deliver yet another great series in the ongoing story of The Defenders.”
“I’ve always been drawn to writing complex, intriguing characters, and that’s what most excites me about the opportunity to bring Danny Rand and Iron Fist to life with Marvel on Netflix,” said Buck.
Returning to New York City after being missing for years, Daniel Rand fights against the criminal element corrupting New York City with his incredible kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist.
Marvel’s Iron Fist is the fourth series as part of an overall deal between Marvel Television and Netflix, which has already released the critically-acclaimed first seasons of Marvel’s Daredevil and Marvel’s Jessica Jones, with Marvel’s Luke Cage premiering in 2016. All four heroes will then unite in the mini-series event Marvel’s The Defenders.
