Iron Fist Series Confirmed for Netflix

[RandySF]

With Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man and Captain America: Civil War we really are in the golden age of Marvel movies. Added to that, we have Agents of SHIELD, Daredevil and Jessica Jones on the smaller screen, all of which are doing pretty well in terms of ratings. So, what else do we need?

Well, for a while now there have been discussions about an Iron Fist Netflix series, but there has been no official confirmation. This has sparked speculation about whether the series is dead before it's up and running, and whether Iron Fist will be replaced by a feature-length movie or a Punisher television series.

Interestingly, there has also been discussion about an upcoming Defenders crossover, set to include characters such as Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. We already have Daredevil and Jessica Jones, whereas Luke Cage is due to air in 2016, but we now officially know that Iron Fist is on his way!

In an interview with Comicbookresources, head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb discussed the claims that Iron Fist will be replaced by a Punisher series, dismissing them outright:

"There was a lot of speculation about what was going on with "Iron Fist," because [fans] hadn't heard anything about it, but there's never been any change at all.

We knew exactly what we were doing at Marvel and at Netflix. Let's get "Jess" out there, everybody knows that "Luke Cage" is up and going. What I can say right now is, we're very excited about "Iron Fist," and the short answer is, yes there'll be news."
