Marvel's Iron Fist: 10 Reasons To Be Excited
6. Another Kickass Female Character
While the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been seriously slow in offering up a female-led movie, it has at least produced some awesome highly-capable women - e.g. Black Widow and Agent Carter. The Marvel-Netflixverse is far superior in this area, however, and across the four seasons so far, we have got to know such great female characters as Jessica Jones, Claire Temple, Misty Knight, Elektra, Trish Walker and Karen Page.
Iron Fist will thankfully continue this with martial arts expert Colleen Wing, as played by Jessica Henwick (another Game of Thrones alum). No doubt she will function as the love interest for Danny, but from the looks of what we have seen of the show so far, she will have a lot of her own agency too.
We definitely know that she will run a self-defence school, as Claire was thinking of joining it back in Luke Cage.
In the comics, Colleen is the best friend of Misty Knight and the pair open up a kung-fu detective agency, calling themselves the Daughters of the Dragon. Let's hope we will get to see this at some point.
