At Last! Iron Fist Is Coming!

Marvel have announced that Rich Wilkes (xXx, xXx: State Of The Union) has been hired to write the screenplay for The Immortal Iron Fist. Iron Fist is a minor Marvel creation, created in the 1970's at the height of the Kung-Fu boom in the US. The plot is as follows; "Iron Fist is Daniel Rand, a man who discovered the mystical city of K’un-L’un when he was a child. He returns as an adult, but after a tragedy in which his wife and son perish he’s helped by the natives and introduced to a martial arts master named Lei Kung, who discovers that he has an aptitude for fighting. After he defeats the dragon Shou-Lao, he plunges his hands into the creature’s heart, forging his hands into nearly indestructible weapons." 


Marvel + Kung-Fu = my ass in front row, opening day.
