Marvel Studio Hires Screenwriter For Iron Fist Movie!

News, Top Story

Deadline is reporting that Marvel Studios has hired xXx screenwriter Rich Wilkes to pen the adaption of the Immortal Iron Fist.

Iron Fist was nearly made into a movie via a partnership with Artisan nearly a decade ago, which would have seen Ray Park play the title character. However shifting schedules a lack of a director eventually left the movie dead in the water, where it then eventually reverted back to Marvel Studios.

I am super stoked about this, as I love Iron Fist. The Fraction/Brubaker/Aja run was phenomenal!
