Jeph Loeb the Head of Marvel Television shut down the rumors that the Iron Fist television series was in trouble and about to be scrapped for a Punisher series, according to an interview with CBR.
“There was a lot of speculation about what was going on with “Iron Fist,” because [fans] hadn’t heard anything about it, but there’s never been any change at all. We knew exactly what we were doing at Marvel and at Netflix. Let’s get “Jess” out there, everybody knows that “Luke Cage” is up and going. What I can say right now is, we’re very excited about “Iron Fist,” and the short answer is, yes there’ll be news,” said Loeb to CBR.
The last Iron Fist show rumor was back in September as Ethan Arkin had been cast as Danny Rand. No release date or filming schedule have been announced by Marvel Studios.
