Daughters Of The Dragon: 8 Reasons Why It Should Be Netflix's Next Marvel Series
7. Colleen Wing Is A Fantastic Character Too
Netflix
The flip side to a potential Knight-Wing series is that Colleen herself is also an established fan favourite character. Given the critical reaction to Iron Fist too, that's saying something.
Jessica Henwick's turn as Wing was one of the few brief glimmers of quality that audiences were treated to in the show, so it would make plenty of sense to ensure that the character remains at the forefront of Marvel's Netflix programming. The most obvious and indeed best way to make sure Colleen stays in the spotlight would be to - y'know - put her in her own show, or better yet to make one with Misty involved.
There's plenty of history to explore with Colleen, and indeed, any DOTD spin-off would ensure that the character got ample screen-time. Her past with The Hand alone possesses bags of cinematic potential, and, when you factor in the inevitable fallout following The Defenders, she is - along with Misty - the perfect candidate to explore the ever-changing landscape of Marvel's New York.
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.
