It was revealed late last year that Marvel are considering Asian American actors for the role of Iron Fist, but an argument has since been made that it’s more than a little clichéd to cast someone from that background as a martial arts expert. Others believe that it’s the only way the character’s abilities can be accurately portrayed, and as you can probably tell, this is a very divisive issue.

If they do decide to go this route though, Daniel Henney definitely stands out as a solid choice and someone on the verge of breaking out after small parts in the likes of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Hawaii Five-O. He’s a talented, likeable actor and a much better pick than the usual names that are thrown around.
