Er gaan 4 verschillende series komen die draaien om Luke Cage (Powerman), Danny Rand (Iron Fist), Matt Murdock (Daredevil) en Jessica Jones. Uiteindelijk zullen ze alle vier samen komen in een gezamenlijke The Defenders miniserie.

Is Alain Moussi in the Running for the Lead in Marvel’s ‘Iron Fist’ on Netflix?


UPDATE: Looks like Moussi may have jumped the gun as he removed the tweet below pretty quickly last night.

Does this mean that he spoke to soon or he’s been cast and Marvel told him to take the tweet down? We’ll have to wait and see…

————————————————————————————

In the wake of the current production of the Kickboxer remake, Kickboxer: Vengeance, you may have been wondering exactly what lies next for its debut lead actor, Alain Moussi. Well, he may have given us an answer via his latest tweet.



It seems that Moussi may be in the running to play Danny Rand, aka Iron Fist in the Iron Fist Netflix limited series. Trust me, if you’re a kung fu fan, you definitely have reason to be excited.

While neither group has officially confirmed the plot or Moussi’s involvement in the new Iron Fist series, all roads currently point to a potential storyline involving the Heroes For Hire story arc with actor Mike Colter who is currently tapped to play superhero Luke Cage in Netflix’s upcoming A.K.A. Jessica Jones to air sometime in 2015 or 2016.

In the meantime, if there is anything worth taking away from Moussi’s post above, it’s the promise of watching the blooming career of a rising martial arts action star for a new generation of kung fu and comic book fans.

What do you think as Moussi as Iron Fist?

Rachael Taylor To Play 'Patsy Walker'/'Hellcat' In A.K.A. JESSICA JONES

Another major casting addition has now been made to A.K.A. Jessica Jones, and it's once again a character from the comic books! Grey's Anatomy star will be playing Patsy Walker in the Marvel/Netflix series, but will she suit up as Hellcat? Hit the jump for all of the official details...


Marvel and Netflix have announced today that Rachael Taylor will play Patricia "Trish" Walker in Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones. According to the official description, "Trish is a syndicated radio talk show host, former model and child TV star known to her adoring fans as "Patsy" Walker. As Jessica Jones’ closest friend, Trish helps her embark on the most dangerous case of Jessica's career." Despite being on the somewhat on the obscure side, this character has been around since the '40s, and became Hellcat in 1976. Will that happen in this series? It remains to be seen.

"The character is a star and a powerhouse, and required an actress who is both," showrunner Melissa Rosenberg said in a statement today. "Rachael is all that and more!" Jeph Loeb, Executive Producer/Marvel’s Head of Television adds, "Rachael's ability to embody a character that must balance both the darker and lighter elements of our series will provide a perfect emotional anchor for Jessica Jones. Rachael blew us away with her grounded, humanizing take on Trish, adding yet another layer to the complex, emotional story we’re telling with this series."

This is an interesting addition to the A.K.A. Jessica Jones, and it's going to be interesting to see how the character is handled in the series. Would you guys like to see Taylor suit up as Hellcat?

Marvel Announce Showrunner And 2016 Premiere For LUKE CAGE

Marvel has today announced who will serve as showrunner on Luke Cage, the highly anticipated series which it has now been confirmed will premiere in 2016 (as expected). He's someone with a lot of very interesting film and TV credits, so hit the jump to find out who it is we're talking about...



Netflix & Marvel Television announced today that Cheo Hodari Coker will serve as executive producer and showrunner of the anticipated series, Marvel’s Luke Cage. Coker is writing the first two episodes of the series that will premiere in 2016, everywhere that Netflix is available.

Most recently, Coker served as a co-executive producer on the second season of Ray Donovan, and prior to that was a supervising producer on the critically-acclaimed, fourth season of the drama SouthLAnd. Coker was a part of the SouthLAnd team that earned the show a 2012 Peabody Award. Coker also garnered a 2013 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Writing for a Dramatic Series for his work on that show. Coker’s feature film credits include Fox Searchlight’s rap biopic Notorious. He authored the book Unbelievable: The Life, Death, and Afterlife of The Notorious B.I.G as well. Coker started his writing career in journalism and was a staff writer at the Los Angeles Times and contributed to VIBE, Rolling Stone, Essence, among other publications. He is a graduate of Stanford University.

It was previously announced that Mike Colter (The Good Wife, American Horror Story: Coven) will play the charismatic lead character, Luke Cage, in the series.

Marvel’s Luke Cage is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix.


This is an interesting choice, and based on his accolades, Coker is the perfect choice to bring a character like Luke Cage (and the world he inhabits) to life in a convincing manner. Of course, he'll be showing up in A.K.A. Jessica Jones later this year before his solo series launches.
