'Game Of Thrones' Actress Jessica Henwick Joins Marvel's 'Iron Fist' On Netflix
The upcoming Marvel series for Netflix, Iron Fist, is slowly putting its cast together, and inspiration seems to have come from HBO's Game Of Thrones. After choosing Finn Jones to play Danny Rand, Jessica Henwick has now been announced for the role of Colleen Wing.
While Jones is known for his role as Loras Tyrell in GoT, Henwick plays Nymeria Sand and also had a role last year in Star Wars: The Force Awakens as Jess Testor, one of the X-wing pilots of the Resistance.
Henwick's character Colleen Wing is Iron Fist's ally and one of the two "Daughters Of The Dragon," alongside Misty Knight. In the upcoming show, Colleen will own and operate a dojo.
Iron Fist sees Daniel Rand, a.k.a. Iron Fist, return to New York City to fight its criminals, having disappeared for several years prior. Introduced in the Marvel Comics in the 1970s, Iron Fist is a superhero with high-level training in martial arts that allows him to channel the power of a force called the Iron Fist.
