It is indisputable that the Netflix seriesIron Fist,starring Finn Jones on Netflix, struggled to garner favorable reviews. Scott Buck’s series has a 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, with a 71% favorability rating, it somehow garnered slightly higher respect from the review aggregator’s audience.
Its cancellation in 2018 was a further letdown. Since then, fans of the character have expressed a keen interest in seeing Jones reprise his role as Danny Rand, aka Iron Fist, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Despite years after the show and its lackluster reception, there is a growing call for Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to give Jones“another chance” to play the iconic martial arts hero on the big screen.
For the unversed, based on the comic book character created by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane,Iron Fistwas the fourth Marvel series.
The Potential Return of Finn Jones as Iron Fist?
Finn Jonesappeared unwilling to give up on Netflix’sIron Fisteven after the show was canceled after two seasons in 2018. In a 2022 interview withGeekscape, the actor, 36, expressed interest in portraying Iron Fist, the martial artist Danny Rand, if Disney+ chooses tobring him backinto the MCU.
“I’d love another chance. I care about Danny Rand deeply, I believe in that character, I think there’s a lot of work to be done. There’s something about the underdog, y’know? I love the underdog narrative.”
Even more recently, Finn shared a picture of a travel bag containing a copy ofThe NeverEnding Story(which may be another subtle hint) along with aPower ManandIron Fistcomic (viaInstagram Story).The comic appears to be in an acrylic collector’s display case, so it is obvious that he does not intend to read it. If there is a trip that Jones is planning, is it to the filming location ofDaredevil: Born Again?

Well, whether or not Feige will listen to fans’ suggestions remains to be seen. Finn Jones may have stumbled with the Netflix show, but with the right opportunity at hand, he could reach new heights as Iron Fist in the MCU.
