8) Ryan Phillippe
Ryan Phillippe is a name which fans have been throwing around for years while talking about Iron Fist, and it’s fairly easy to see why. He has the right look and impressed in movies like The Lincoln Lawyer and on the small screen in Damages.
While it could be argued that he’s better suited to a villainous role, he’s shown off the kind of traits you might associate with Danny Rand in various roles over the years. He actually did have a meeting with Marvel last year, so of all the people listed here, he may have the best chance of landing the gig.
