Very nice Finn Jones Game of Thrones is Marvel Iron Fist

After months of speculation, it seems that we have an advantage of long-awaited Netflix next series of Marvel Iron Fist, and he's so terribly handsome. Finn Jones - best known for playing the top of the rare icon Ser Loras Tyrell Poniente in Game of Thrones - has been chosen as the last character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, by Entertainment Weekly.


At first glance, the foundry makes sense, given Jones appearance and experience. The story of Iron Fist has historically been about Danny Rand - a blond pretty boy who was born in massive wealth (to Bruce Wayne) and gains magical powers of martial arts during a stay in a city called East Asian Kunlun secret. Return to New York City and fight against crime, as superheroes usually do. This version of the fist eventually cross paths with Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and the other heroes of Marvel Netflix for the next series of cross Advocates.

For some, this casting is a big disappointment, but not specific grudge against Jones. The premise of Iron Fist is more than a little dated, what with the Orientalist fantasy of a secret Anglo-American fighting techniques learning in a hidden city in the Far East. As a result, there have been significant online campaigns to get an Asian-American actor to play the character (check out this cri de coeur writer Keith Chow to get an idea of ​​the plot and the movement he created). It is not bleached, but still will raise blisters for people who care about the ways ethnic minorities are portrayed in the ever growing world of fictional superhero.
