Looks like The RZA has some involvement in the forthcoming Iron Fist series.
In a Facebook Live interview with Extra, Finn Jones (who portrays Danny Rand / Iron Fist) revealed that the Wu-Tang Clan ringleader directed the sixth episode in the superhero show.
"He's a complete dude," Jones said about RZA, while also adding "he has a really good vision of what he wants. He understands the martial arts genre."
The reveal came when a fan asked what would be on Iron Fist's playlist, to which Jones remarked that he had created a playlist of '90s rap music (De La Soul, Jurassic 5, A Tribe Called Quest and, of course, Wu-Tang) that he thought the titular character would listen to.
Several months back, Marvel and Netflix released the first trailer for Iron Fist. The one minute teaser offers a glimpse into the world of Danny Rand, a man that somehow becomes a kung fu master and, ultimately, dawns the name Iron Fist.
Iron Fist, which will debut on Netflix on March 17, serves as the final solo series a part of the Defenders launch that is slated to drop some time this year. Prior to Iron Fist was Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Daredevil.
