10 Predictions For The Marvel Netflix Series

5. The Iron Fist Series Will Have A Large Cast Of Superheroes

By the time the fourth Marvel Netflix series, Iron Fist, airs, there will be a substantial cast of characters available for guest spots. It would be possible to show anyone from the casts of Daredevil, A.K.A. Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage as well as introducing new supporting cast members. What seems absolutely certain is that Luke Cage will continue to back up his good friend, Danny, since the prospect of Danny without Luke hardly bears thinking about. In addition, the other characters from the Heroes For Hire comics would logically be up for grabs. Using this large cast, the episodes of Iron Fist could vary from Danny solving cases on his own to episodes where Danny works with other heroes. At some point or other, a surprisingly large number of heroes have signed up with the Heroes for Hire organisation, including the Punisher, Black Panther, Black Widow, Misty Knight, Elektra, Falcon, Ghost Rider, Moonknight, Silver Sable, Gargoyle, and Spider-Man. Out of these, Misty Knight seems the easiest to feature, and Spider-Man the most impractical. If the budget can stretch to it, the Falcon could be a serious contender for a single episode, but don't expect the Black Widow to appear. It's doubtful the budget could cover the fee required for Scarlett Johansson. On a more positive note, the rights to Ghost Rider now reside with Marvel, which means the fiery-skulled vigilante could appear. With such a colourful roster of heroes and anti-heroes to draw upon, there could be some highly entertaining episodes in the Iron Fist series.
