David Wenham cast in Marvel’s Iron Fist

David Wenham has joined the cast of upcoming Netflix action series Marvel’s Iron Fist.

He joins previously announced Finn Jones and Jessica Henwick, who will play Danny Rand / Iron Fist and Colleen Wing, respectively.

The series sees Daniel Rand return 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.

Wenham will play Harold Meachum, a ruthless corporate leader who was partners with Danny Rand’s parents at the time of their deaths. What role he plays in Danny’s past and future will be revealed over the course of the series.

“I’m very excited to have David as our Harold Meachum. David is capable of displaying raw, visceral strength as well as extremely keen intelligence,” said Executive Producer and Showrunner, Scott Buck. “This will add up to a character of complex depth who will keep us off balance all season.”

“David brings both a vulnerability and a danger to his many diverse roles,” said Executive Producer / Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. “This key quality creates a gravitas our series requires as Danny unravels the secrets behind Rand Enterprises.”
