Iron Fist: What You Need to Know About Marvel's Latest Netflix Series

Jones, aka Loras Tyrell from Game of Thrones, confirmed on Instagram that he would be taking on the role of Danny Rand/Iron Fist. "It's official," he wrote. "Thank you for all your kind words. I'm very excited and humbled to take on the role of Iron Fist. The character and his story resonates, I look forward to bringing him to life!"

While Jones looks like the comic-book character, many fans and critics were dismayed, claiming that Netflix missed an opportunity to cast an Asian-American actor in the role of the kung fu master.
