Update:
Marvel has officially confirmed that Scott Buck has
been put in charge of Iron Fist, the fourth Netflix series based on a Marvel
Comics property.
"Scott came in with a take on Iron Fist that quite simply knocked us
off our feet," said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel Television, Jeph
Loeb. "We always look for the most creative minds in the field to help us
bring our heroes to life, and with Scott we’ve found someone that can deliver
yet another great series in the ongoing story of The Defenders."
"I’ve always been drawn to writing complex, intriguing characters, and
that’s what most excites me about the opportunity to bring Danny Rand and "Iron
Fist" to life with Marvel on Netflix," said Buck.
It looks like Marvel has taken a step forward in their
Iron Fist series after dismissing the rumors that the super-powered martial
arts expert had been scrapped from the Netflix line up.
According to Heroic Hollywood and Comicbook.com, Six
Feet Under producer, Dexter executive producer Scott Buck has been brought onboard
the Marvel family and will showrun the Iron Fist miniseries.
"Returning
to New York City after being missing for years, Daniel Rand 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."
Marvel
has yet to confirm Buck as Iron Fist's showrunner, or when the
show will be released, but with the second season of Daredevil coming up next
in the spring of 2016, and Luke Cage premiering sometime in the year after
that, as well as the possibility of a second season of Jessica Jones, it may
take some time until we hear anything definitive.
