It would be fair to say that when all of the Marvel shows were canceled by Netflix earlier this year, there wouldn’t have been too many people mourning the loss of Iron Fist. It was easily the weakest of the bunch, hampered by both a title character and plot that wasn’t particularly interesting, and the series even managed to disappoint when it came to the fight choreography, which had always been regarded as one of the strongest aspects of the streaming service’s Defenders-related lineup.

There’s been a lot of speculation over the last few months that Kevin Feige was keen to reboot all of the former Netflix heroes and absorb them into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with rumors even hinting that Krysten Ritter, Charlie Cox and Jon Bernthal could be offered the chance to reprise their roles, but the latest word makes it crystal clear that Marvel has no love for Finn Jones’ Danny Rand.

Sources have said that Lewis Tan is one name being looked at to play the MCU’s new Iron Fist. The 32 year-old former stuntman is certainly the kind of charismatic rising star that Marvel likes, and has demonstrated his martial arts prowess on numerous occasions with appearances in the likes of Into the Badlands, Wu Assassins and the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot.
