New female-led ‘Iron Fist’ project is reportedly in the works at Marvel Studios

Marvel Studios is reportedly gearing up to expand its universe with a new Iron Fist spin-off project, signaling the return of the Living Weapon to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Fresh reports suggest that Marvel Studios is in the early stages of developing an Iron Fist spin-off project, potentially featuring a female lead. The recent inclusion of Daredevil and its related shows into the MCU canon has paved the way for characters from series like Iron Fist to make a comeback.

According to insider Daniel Richtman, the new Iron Fist project could take the form of an animated series or film. While details about the project remain scarce, speculation points to Colleen Wing, portrayed by Jessica Henwick in the original Iron Fist series, as a possible lead character. In the series, Wing is a martial artist and ally of Danny Rand, running her own dojo in New York City.

Henwick has expressed interest in reprising her role as Colleen Wing, emphasizing the character’s significance and potential for further exploration in the MCU. Additionally, there are hints that Danny Rand, the titular Iron Fist, could make a cameo appearance in the spin-off project.

While Marvel Studios has not officially confirmed the new Iron Fist project, the prospect of its development is sure to excite fans of the series. Iron Fist, developed by Scott Buck, premiered on Netflix in 2017 and featured Finn Jones and Jessica Henwick in leading roles. With its potential return to the MCU, the Iron Fist saga may continue to captivate audiences in new and unexpected ways.
