    Looks Like MINORITY REPORT's Arleo Dordar Might Have Joined The Cast Of IRON FIST - Could Be Be Playing 'Davos'?

    Nothing offcial here, but Arleo Dordar (The 100, Minority Report) has posted a very interesting Instagram pic, suggesting that he has indeed signed on for Marvel and Netflix's Iron Fist...

    The MCU Exchange spotted an intriguing Instagram post from actor Arleo Dordar that seems to suggest that he's nabbed a series regular role on Marvel and Netflix's Iron Fist. Though there's no indication of which character he could be playing, he does gel pretty closely with the description that was sent out a while back for Davos, AKA Steel Serpent.

    That reads: "25 – 30 yrs old, male, please submit Asian, East Indian, Pacific Islander, etc., handsome, effortlessly-powerful, an intelligent, thoughtful warrior."

    In addition to his numerous acting credits, Dordar is an accomplished kickboxer, so that also bodes well in his favour.

    A show about a superhero? Strange. Don't see many of those nowadays.

    That trailer seemed very corny and cliched. I dunno.

    I agree. I've liked all of the Marvel shows Netflix has released thus far, but this seems like a step down from those. I'll still give it a shot, though.

    I'm really concerned. When they announced Defenders I was excited for Daredevil and the others, but mostly Iron Fist. I truly hope after having such a strong run with the other 3 that they don't drop the ball here.

    I'll be watching regardless.

    This looks so awful . I feel like im watching one of teh new GI Joe movies. Why not just make it in the tone of Kung Fu city movies? like Rumble in the Bronx, The Last Dragon, or something.

    I don't think it looks as bad as GI Joe by any means, it just doesn't look memorable. I'm still concerned though.

    Since you mention it the Last Dragon is easily my favorite Kung Fu movie that isn't named Kung Fu Hustle or Black Dynamite.

    Sho Nuff!

    [If anyone hasn't seen any of the 3 I listed, you can thank me later]

    Three awesome movies! I would add Iron Monkey in there as well, just because it was a boat-load of fun too! Oh and Big Trouble in Little China!

    I'll give a shot but I'm not pumped about it. Doesn't help that Luke Cage was very underwhelming for me. I had such high hopes for that show until I started watching it.

    A lot of people were offended Marvel didn't "adapt" and put an Asian actor in the lead role. Probably not so much now.

    I'll try to keep an open mind but the door is barely cracked.
