And here he is, being a good guy.
There have been petitions for Adkins to be the next Batman. While we know that's not going to happen any time soon thanks to Mr. Affleck, fans are still hoping. Granted, his acting isn't Oscar-winning but he just needs the chance to shine. And yes, Matt Murdock is a red head, but that's nothing a little hair dye won't fix. His hair can be really light brown, and it'd work. He's also no stranger to comic book flicks - he's Weapon XI in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
What makes Daredevil interesting isn't his power set, even though they are very unique powers. It's his limitations and the way he overcomes them that make Daredevil a great character. It's his struggle between justice and the law, and how he straddles the line. If Marvel manages to find that, and the right guy for the role, it'll be one for the books.
Iron Fist/ Danny Rand
Iron Fist is the kung fu guy who seems like he can't keep it together and unlock his full potential. But when it comes right down to it and Iron Fist starts to get focused, he can be unstoppable. With his natural kung fu talent, he has the power to focus his chi to make his fists like unto a thing of iron. Thing is, he's also rich and kind of a stubborn douchebag who has no idea how much more he can grow. At least, this is how Fraction and Brubaker wrote him with Immortal Iron Fist. Old school Iron Fist was more zen, like the stereotypical kung fu master. But if I were a betting man, I would think they would go with the latest version.
The guy who'll play him should be able to come across as kind of a snarky prick with a strong sense of morality. He also needs to have those innocent boy-next-door looks to pull off a convincing Danny Rand.
Jon Foo
The Irish/Chinese martial artist isn't as young as Mr. Rand is supposed to be, but he's got the moves to pull off a good Iron Fist. He's got the right build, too. And he even moves like Iron Fist should. He doesn't have blonde hair but I think a dye would do the trick. I mean, he is part Irish after all. He just needs to work on his accent and his delivery, but all in all, I think he'd make for a cool Iron Fist.
Hey, it could work. As long as they focus on Kun Lun's secrets and weird past as the main focal point of the series.
Next time, we'll go ahead and fan cast Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. But in the meantime, let us know who you'd cast as Iron Fist and Daredevil in the comments!
