According to G4TV, Marvel is seriously considering an Iron Fist movie as its first under the Disney banner. Apparently, an Iron Fist flick has been under consideration for some 10 years or more, but it fell to the wayside, possibly because Iron Fist is not a "top-tier" character who would be recognizable to mainstream audiences. Another possible reason is the character's background itself: Daniel Rand (the current Iron Fist) is the son of a wealthy businessman who dons a mask to find his parents' murderer(s)... ala Batman. While several others have donned the mask throughout the years, it is safe to assume that Daniel Rand will be the lead.
Screenwriter, Rich Wilkes (xXx), is now attached to the project -- the only one named so far. MTV's Splash Page has five interesting suggestions for the lead, though.
