Rich Wilkes to write Iron First for Marvel Studios
The comic book was created by Ray Thomas and Gil Kane in the 1970s and centers on Danny Rand, a martial arts expert who gains a mystical power that turns his fists into indestructible weapons.
We reported a few weeks back that Iron Fist was among the films in a new wave of comic book adaptations, along with S.H.I.E.L.D., Black Panther, Doctor Strange and Guardians of the Galaxy, that Marvel Studios had planned.
Marvel had previously tried to make an Iron Fist film with martial arts legend Ray Park attached to star over a decade ago. But that film never came to fruition.
We'll certainly keep you posted with any further details on Iron Fist and any other upcoming Marvel Studios comic book adaptations as soon as we have more information.
Iron Fist comes to theaters in 2012.

Agree also, but I wouldn't be surprised if the studios comsider him as 'too old' for the part.....

I agree with everyone that wants Ray Park in this role. He deserves a chance to shine in a speaking role.

Why is this being made? I'm not doubting that it could be a good movie, but it's unnecessary compared to other comic book projects that would be more interesting/important.

I remember Ray Park being attached to the film now I hope he's still on. Although G.I. Joe may interrupt, depending on development.
