Marvel’s Netflix Defenders Films This Year

While it was just learned Daredevil won’t be appearing in any Marvel movies, who needs them when you have the Defenders?

The Defenders is Marvel TV’s version of The Avengers featuring Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones.

Now it’s learned Marvel will start filming the Defenders later this year.

Charlie Cox offered the news at a Netflix presentation in Paris.

“What we do know is at the end of this year we’re going to be making The Defenders and, of course, Daredevil is very much a part of that foursome,” Cox said, reports the UK’s Independent. “I have no idea what the storyline is going to be for that show. I’m very excited to see how those world’s combine… and interested to see tonally how those shows become one.”

Cox also offered Daredevil Season 3 is presently up in the air: “We don’t know if there’s going to be a season three. I certainly don’t know. In terms of wrapping up any storylines, maybe they’ll do some of that in The Defenders. Or maybe they won’t.”

Finn Jones Talks Iron Fist

Marvel has cast Game of Thrones‘ Finn Jones as Danny Rand for the upcoming Netflix Iron Fist series.

Jones spoke with Entertainment Weekly (via reddit) where it’s learned the 28-year-old actor is training around the clock for the role consisting of daily routines filled with Kung Fu, Wushu and Tai Chi training in addition to meditation and studying Buddhism.

“I’ve always dreamed of a role that bridged spiritual discipline and badass superhero,” Jones said. “There’s a contradiction in those elements that’s going to be very fun to play.”

In Marvel’s Iron Fist, Daniel Rand returns to New York City after being missing for years. He 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.

Iron Fist Colleen Wing Teaser Image Released

Following yesterday’s reveal that Jessica Henwick wil be playing the female lead in the Netflix Iron Fist series, now Marvel.com has officially announced the news and released a Colleen Wing teaser image.

We see Collen Wing will be a martial arts instructor.

I’ve said it before a few times, I haven’t been happy with the fight choreography in Daredevil. I’m a bit skeptical what they will do with Iron Fist, especially considering the character is trained in Kung-Fu, which (at least in my opinion) isn’t the best (combat Ju-Jitsu), but I’ll wait and see.

Via Marvel:

A martial arts expert running her own dojo, Colleen will serve as an invaluable ally to Danny Rand as he returns to his life in New York. In the comics, Colleen first appeared in MARVEL PREMIERE #19 as one of Danny’s first friends after he left K’un-L’un.

“I’m very excited to have Jessica as our Colleen Wing,” said Executive Producer and Showrunner, Scott Buck. “She’s shown us that she can bring both a sense of quiet strength as well as an engaging vulnerability to the character.”

“Jessica brings both a youthful vitality mixed with a strong sense of authority crucial to the character,” said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. “And as anyone who’s seen her in ‘Game of Thrones’ can attest, she can throw down with the best of them, making her the perfect Colleen Wing.”

In “Marvel’s Iron Fist,” Daniel Rand returns to New York City after being missing for years. He 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.

Joe Quesada Shoots Down Iron Fist Rumors (Video)

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23015:]]

Recently, there have been all kinds of rumor surrounding the Marvel Netflix Iron Fist series ranging from Marvel Studios stopping the use of the character, to the Punisher replacing Iron Fist in Netflix Defenders series, to an Iron Fist Netflix movie.

Now IGN catches up with Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada and asks about Iron Fist.

“Iron Fist is being worked on,” Quesada confirms. “That’s all I can say.”

Quesada is then asked about the rumor surrounding Iron Fist becoming a Netflix movie.

“Where did you read these rumors? Oh, but they were on the internet? So they must be true,” Quesada said with a smile.

While Quesada didn’t specifically shoot down the Iron Fist Netflix movie rumor, we do see since it is being worked on that it’s safe to assume Marvel Studios hasn’t cancelled the use of the character.

You can watch more from Quesada in the video below with talk of comics, Jessica Jones and Defenders:

Scott Adkins Cast In Doctor Strange

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22932:]]

With Doctor Strange currently filming in Nepal, it’s being reported martial artist Scott Adkins has been cast in the movie; however, the role is currently unknown.

Adkins is a fan-favorite actor who recently auditioned for the role of the new Batman, which went to Ben Affleck. Adkins has also been featured in Universal Soldier, The Expendables and The Bourne Ultimatum.

According to The Wrap, Adkins will be featured in several major action scenes featuring hand-to-hand combat.

The news of Scott Adkins getting cast in Doctor Strange will certainly bring about speculation the actor is playing Iron Fist, especially following the recent rumors of Marvel Studios said to be putting a stop to the use of the character in the Marvel Netflix series. To add to that, with Iron Fist having a supernatural background, the character would fit in pretty well with Doctor Strange, which is more than likely spearheading the supernatural side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Doctor Strange has a November 4, 2016 release directed by Scott Derrickson.

 

Gotta love Thailand.

Iron Fist Netflix Movie Rumored

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22731:]]

Following the rumor of Marvel Studios cancelling the Iron Fist Netflix series, which was then followed by the rumor of a Punisher series replacing the Iron Fist series, now comes another new rumor.

It’s being said that Marvel will be making an Iron Fist movie for Netflix.

The info comes again from Peel The Orange that states:

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.

Jon Bernthal Punisher Rumored To Be Replacing Iron Fist On Netflix

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22664:]]

With rumors of a Marvel internal civil war between the movies and TV/comics division, which states Marvel Studios may put the kabash on the use of Iron Fist in Netflix and the Defenders, comes new rumors suggesting The Punisher may be used as a replacement.

Word comes from Peel The Orange (via movie pilot):

Marvel can’t quite seem to figure out how to put Iron Fist into the equation and time is running out. They’re very pleased with how Jon Bernthal’s portrayal of Frank Castle for Season 2 of Daredevil and know that the fans have a great appreciation for the character. They also know that a Punisher series would be much cheaper and more marketable. They have a contract with Netflix and have to do something. It appears that for this phase of shows, time is running thin for Iron Fist. 

It’s also suggested Marvel may be having a hard time finding a lead for Iron Fist, and we can even further speculate if the rumors of Marvel Studios axing Iron Fist on TV are true that Iron Fist may be appearing in the Marvel movies (possibly on the supernatural side of things with Doctor Strange, etc).

Marvel Studios Vs TV Rumors Said To Be BS

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22529:]]

It was recently reported that a split has occurred between the Marvel Studios division, led by Kevin Feige, and the Marvel TV/Comics division, led by eccentric Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter, which also includes the Marvel Creative Committee consisting of Joe Quesada, Dan Buckley and Brian Michael Bendis.

The initial report about the split stated that following “several years of frustration,” Feige recently “vented his unhappiness to Horn and Disney CEO Bob Iger earlier this summer” which now means Kevin Feige will report to Disney studio chief Alan Horn instead of Perlmutter.

No specific reasons were cited, but following the release of the report, the rumors started flying.

Long story short: Basically (from my perspective), what went down is that following the first report of the split, new rumors surfaced that seemed overtly pro-Marvel Studios with the blame being aimed in the direction of Pelmutter and the Marvel Creative Committee.

That’s when Rich Johnston of Bleeding Cool stepped in and contacted his Marvel Comics sources (Johnston has been involved in comic book news/gossip/rumor reporting for the past 23 years).

According to Johnston, his Marvel Comics/TV sources filled him in that:

• Disney considers Avengers 2 a failure with the reasoning being in part Kevin Feige

• Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Part 2 will have production budgets of $500 million 

• Disney is laying off Marvel TV employees connected to Perlmutter

• Marvel Studios is cancelling the Inhumans movie (which was spearheaded by Perlmutter as an effort to promote Agents of SHIELD)

• Marvel Studios is interfering and stopping the Iron Fist Marvel TV Netflix series.

Now Forbes blogger Mark Hughes is stating the Marvel Studios vs. Marvel TV rumors are all BS – calling them “rubbish” –  offering Avengers 2 isn’t considered a failure, there is no evidence Inhumans is being cancelled, Infinity War movies will not have a $500 million budget, and that Marvel Studios isn’t trying to “harm” Marvel TV or cause the cancellation of the Iron Fist Netflix series.

The Fobes’ report goes on to mention there is nothing to back up Johnston’s claims, and offers the reason the rumors are BS is because Johnston got them from Marvel TV/Comics sources at the recent New York Comic-Con late night at the bar scene. It’s more or less stated the rumors from the Marvel TV/Comics people were exaggerated because liquor was involved and that they are just simply disgruntled employees, which happens in the work place any time a split/differences occur.

Johnston is sticking by his guns, however, as he responded to the Forbes report on Twitter: “have spoken to a no. of Marvel execs, East and West, well away from bars, who would vehemently dispute this.”

If there really is no “Civil War” taking place within Marvel, there is at least one going on in the blogosphere (spin from both sides) with the winner obviously being what comes to fruition in the months to come. Will we have an Inhumans movie? Will Iron Fist be cancelled? Time will tell…

Now Iron Fist Rumored To Be Cancelled; Inhumans Cancellation Update

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22417:]]

The virtual “civil war” between Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige and eccentric billionaire Ike Perlmutter continues as, following the rumor of the Inhumans movie being cancelled, now it’s said the Netflix Iron Fist series may be on the chopping block.

The rumor comes once again from Bleeding Cool who apparently spoke to a few tipsy Marvel Comics/TV employees at this past weekend’s NYCC.

According to the report, Marvel Studios gets the final say and sign-off on how Iron Fist appears, with it said the “show may be killed with such procedural notes.” While the report doesn’t mention it, it could be possible Marvel Studios may want Iron Fist in their own movies. Iron Fist was/is supposed to be its own Netflix series and a part of the Netflix Defenders series along with Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage.

Regarding the cancellation of the Inhumans movie, a few sites have contradicted the info, but BC is sticking by their own sources (again speculated to be in the Marvel Comics/TV division) stating the info is coming out of Kevin Feige’s camp. Another site also states if Black Bolt and the Royal Family first appear on the Agents Of SHIELD TV series, that it will mean the movie is a definite goner.

It’s further suggested Marvel Studios is “de-prioritizing” Inhumans with the excuse for dropping it stated to be that they could never find the right people for it.

Ryan Phillippe In Talks With Marvel For Netflix Series; Possibly Iron Fist

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20301:]]

It’s learned Ryan Phillippe is in talks with Marvel for something Netflix related.

The 40-year-old actor recently appeared on Howard Stern where he offered: “Marvel is interested in talking about a Netflix series, possibly. The Daredevil series is great.”

The actor then followed-up on Twitter with: “I have no real Marvel news other than an upcoming meeting. Sorry to disappoint fans thought there was more to it. There is no story there [smiles].”

Speculation immediately led to Phillppe possibly playing Iron Fist, as the actor has yet to be cast. Interestingly enough, Ryan Phillippe does hold a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, so at least he might be familiar and capable of doing some martial arts moves (IMDb already lists that actor as playing Iron Fist as well).

In the comics, Iron Fist is Daniel Rand, the heir to Rand Corporation, and in the Daredevil series, was the company truck that spilled the chemicals on the young Matt Murdock.
