Summary
X - Men ' 97creator Beau DeMayo wantsIron Fistto be reinvented in theMCUwith a raw player , and I ’ve forge out which version of the Marvel hero would be perfect for this casting . Although Beau DeMayo is no longer involved with the ontogenesis of Marvel Animation’sX - Men ' 97 , he has still been very outspoken about the world of Marvel Studios , and I loved his mesmerism of a new actor for theIron Fist ’s MCU return . Finn Jones previously debuted as Danny Rand in Netflix’sIron Fistseries , but I have serious doubts about Jones reprising the function .
Netflix’sIron Fistreleased as part of the Defenders Saga , which was recently confirm to be canon to the MCU . I ’m very frantic to see so manyDefenders Saga actors returninginDaredevil : suffer Again , butI’m less certain about the circumstances of Finn Jones ' Danny Rand , asIron Fistwas my least favorite Defenders Saga series . Finn Jones has recently open up about his desire to rejoin the MCU ( viaThe Nerd Shepherd / MCU Film News ) , but I think Beau DeMayo ’s fresh Iron Fist fan - casting would be perfect for a very different version of the grapheme .
I think there ’s a lot of elbow room for maturation with that character that I ’ve always liked to see , and I think I ’m in a position professionally where I would like to continue to grow with that character .

Beau DeMayo Wants Manny Jacinto To Play The MCU’s Iron Fist
I Think Manny Jacinto Would Be Perfect As The Iron Fist, But Not As Danny Rand
In Marvel Comics , Danny Rand is the blanched American son of Wendell Rand and Heather Duncan who find himself in the mystical city of K’un - Lun follow his parent ' deaths on an expedition . Netflix’sIron Fistchanged elements of this story , but kept the broad - strokes the same , and I recollect that Finn Jones did a solid line of work of inhabiting this fish - out - of - water personality , though I still felt his depiction and the serial as a whole had some major problems . Manny Jacinto does n’t correspond the character of Danny Rand , but I think he ’d be perfect as Lin Lie , alternatively .
First see in 2018’sWarriors of Three Sovereigns # 1 , Lin Lie was a descendent of Fu Xi , who wielded the powerful Sword of Fu Xi . This steel allowed Lin Lie to work as Sword Master , but he became the Iron Fist after lose the sword in 2022’sIron Fist ( Vol . 6 ) # 1.Even though Lin Lie is from Shanghai , and Manny Jacinto is Filipino , he would still be an elysian casting choice for the role of Lin Lie in the MCU . Jacinto has proven his acting chop , and the resemblance between him and Lin Lie is uncanny .
late development have given the Marvel Cinematic Universe a perfect elbow room to put back one of Marvel ’s more historically polarize heroes .
Lin Lie’s MCU Debut Could Support Major Shang-Chi 2 Team Theories
Back in December 2021,Deadlinereported that a sequel toShang - Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ringswas in evolution at Marvel Studios , and director Destin Daniel Cretton and lead mavin Simu Liu have backed up these claims in the old age since . There has been increasing speculation that the as - yet - unconfirmedShang - Chi 2could introduce theAgents of Atlas in the MCU , perhaps convey together by Randall Park ’s Jimmy Woo . I call up Lin Lie ’s Iron Fist would make an unbelievable summation to this powerful Asian and Asian - American superhero squad .
Lin Lie joined Marvel Comics ' Agents of Atlas as Sword Master during theWar of the Realmscrossover event , though he leaves prior to becoming the Iron Fist . I ’ve blemish several potentialAgents of Atlas members in the MCU , let in Jimmy Woo , Shang - Chi , Katy , and perhaps even Wong , but Manny Jacinto ’s Lin Lie could give the team some real power . This would be a great direction to color overIron Fist’smistakes , and could still allow Finn Jones ' Danny Rand to return , but may put back him with Lin Lie as the primaryIron Fistof the MCU .
