Marvel's Iron Fist: Ranking Every Major Character From Worst To Best

1. Colleen Wing

Even just based on the trailers, Jessica Henwick's Colleen Wing looked like one of the strongest parts of the show.

Luckily the trailers weren't lying to us about that, and Henwick delivers and then some, giving a performance far beyond what anyone who knows her only for Game of Thrones would've thought her capable of.

In the earlier episodes, when the show is bogged down in boardroom battles, Wing is the only relatable and well-rounded character on the show, the only one with actual struggles and a clear purpose beyond just serving herself.

While the writing sees the character make some poor decisions, including a love interest angle with Danny that feels rather unnecessary, and the fact she goes along with so many of his ideas, Henwick remains a total badass until the very end.

She's strong, clever, brave, has some of the better (if still not brilliant) action sequences, and overall would make for a far more captivating lead than Finn Jones' Danny Rand. Daughters of the Dragon series next? Yes please, Netflix.
