Jessica Stroup ("The
Following") and Tom Pelphrey ("Banshee") have joined the cast of
Marvel's Iron Fist series, and with them Marvel completes the cast of series
regulars, which also includes Jessica Henwick as Colleen Wing, and David Wenham
as Harold Meachum.
Stroup and Pelphrey
will play Joy and Ward Meachum, childhood acquaintances of Danny Rand (Finn
Jones) who now play a big role in Rand Enterprises. As "the
children of Harold Meachum, Joy and Ward have spent their lives building Rand
Enterprises to its current standing in the world, only to have all their work
put in jeopardy when Danny returns to claim his birthright."
"With the terrific addition of
the very talented Jessica and Tom, we’ve now brought the entire Meachum family
together," said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. "While
Marvel couldn’t be happier, Danny's mission just got a lot more complicated."
"I’m very happy to have
Jessica and Tom as our Joy and Ward Meachum," said Executive Producer and
Showrunner Scott Buck. "Much like Danny Rand’s past is a mystery to us, we’ll
discover along the way that the Meachum children have intriguing secrets of their
own."
In "Marvel’s Iron
Fist," Daniel Rand returns to New York City after being missing for years.
He fights against the criminal element corrupting New York City with his
incredible kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery
Iron Fist.
