Status: This series is due on Netflix from Marvel after AKA Jessica Jones. Pitch: Details about Marvel's non-Jessica-Jones Netflix series are sketchy beyond their titles. The comics see Danny Rand orphaned in a family trip to the magical land of K'un L'un. He learns the ways of the martial arts, especially the mystical, chi-focusing force known as the Iron Fist, and seeks revenge on his parents' killer. Odds of Success Onscreen: Average. Iron Fist was born of a genre popular in the 1970s that has all but vanished from modern world cinema: kung fu. Martial arts remain popular, but the story will need some retooling for modern audiences.
