Daughters Of The Dragon: 8 Reasons Why It Should Be Netflix's Next Marvel Series

Honestly, who doesn't want to see Misty and Colleen kicking butt in their own show?

Coming off the back of both Luke Cage and Iron Fist, it was clear for all to see that both those show's two leading ladies, Misty Knight and Colleen Wing, were the clear standouts; the former in a great show, and the latter in the perennially dreadful Iron Fist.

With Matt Murdock and the rest of The Defenders all getting another solo season each, and with Frank Castle getting his own Punisher spin-off, it would make sense that Netflix are already anticipating some new additions to their line of Marvel-ous programming. They need not look to the wider Marvel library just yet, however, seeing as how they're already (perhaps unwittingly) sitting on a show with dynamite potential.

We are, of course, referring to the Daughters of the Dragon themselves, Misty and Colleen. Simone Missick and Jessica Henwick were both electric in Luke Cage and Iron Fist respectively, and, while it would be optimistic to hope that a series focusing on the duo would supplant Danny Rand's small-screen presence, there's every chance that a spin-off based on the Daughters of the Dragon series could fly on Netflix.

While Luke Cage and Iron Fist fronted the most famous super-themed business in Heroes for Hire, Colleen and Misty had their own in Knightwing Restorations Ltd. - a PI agency not all that dissimilar to Jessica Jones' Alias Investigations. With that premise in mind, it's not hard to envision the pair fronting their own show, especially with Missick and Henwick in the leads.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
