So, The GoT season 6 premiere happened, and on the carpet Finn Jones was sporting a beard. Surprising, as Danny has never wore one before. Considering Iron Fist starts production around this week/mid April, could we be seeing the rumoured "Kung-Fu Hobo" Danny, that lives on the streets at first and maybe a skint in a mental asylum? Very interested to see what his Danny is going to be like.
>>81694897
I remember seeing Danny with bead in IIF for a little bit. But yeah, hobo-danny and that thing about an mentañ asylum sounds like a good guess.
Anyways. I thought this guy was blond, but it turns out he's a bit gingerish. Funny.
>>81694897
Well, he did spend 20 years in a hellish island.
>>81695014
Yeah, toward the end after the "eighth city" arc. I asked in a thread "Do you think he'll dye his hair Blonde?" People asked "Why?". Perhaps he looks blonder here?
>>81695128
Without getting a Sven, there's really very few men with comic-accurate yellow hair.
Most blond men get darker blond because of testosterone and sun.
I've never seen Iron Fist but I read online he's supposed to be asian, why's a white guy playing him? Marvel's been pretty good about not whitewashing characters so far so this is really disappointing.
>>81695128
I'm guessing "clean-shaven" will be his "contrast-look", towards the end when he inherits his father's company from Meachum, and become a Billionaire.
>>81695198
Out of sheer spite for the tumblr community. They are also adapting K'un L'un to make it whiter, and calling it Kunlunborough.
>>81695198
Danny Rand has always been a white guy.
>>81695198
This is weak bait.
>>81695198
He's only Asian on the inside. No seriously. When he was nine he was orphaned while his father searched for a place named "K'un-Lun" in the Tibeaten mountains, and thus adopted by magical Asians. He's an egg.
>>81695198
2/10 made me reply.
>>81695116
...where drugs were smuggled and he was trained by Asian people and the island has an Asian name
>>81695239
>>81695264
It's possible it's bait, it's also possible they're being legitimate. There are casuals who stumble on AAIronFist articles, and genuinely think he's been "White-Washed".
>>81695309
...and when he gets back he inherits his father's company and fights crime with a black friend who wears something silly on his head
>>81695309
He also wears green.
Thank god he has no girlfriend to ruin it. In fact, he has one of the best girlfriend dynamics.
>>81695344
It is just me laughing at the thought of Aja's Danny cosplayng Hawkeye in green? I've just finished reading those Fraction issurs of Hawkeye and think this is amusing.
>>81695400
Hawkeye, Iron Fist and Johnny Storm are the same person.
Like the Rhino and Kingpin.
>>81695416
I hope they let Finn grow to a short curled cut, like:
>>81695128
Makes him look different, plus it suits him.
>>81695474
Vaguely looking the part is fine for me. Personality is more important. Ritter did not look like Jessica at all, but she really felt like Jessica to me, so it was great.
>>81695516
True. It's not important that he's super blonde. (Curls do work for him, though.) Only his ethnicity is really important, regarding his appearance.
Anyway, "A Hobo Martial Artist" sounds like an awesome concept. So, if that's what they're going for I'm even more Hyped for the show.
>>81695697
The bears is obviously there for a flashback or waking up from a coma or something.
>>81695735
Maybe, for when he first returns to NYC?
Here he is @ 3:50:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLrZ1qGRYmNy253uc-BPNzFRpA-7zI6a_i&v=OdgXxWc6bU4
Hmm, he looks slightly bigger. He doesn't have to have a huge frame as a martial artist.
>It's probably under his shirt
>>81695839
He maybe has a beard for GoT as well.
He's also likely training and the show's being written. They shouldn't start shooting until June or something.Whenever the Marco Polo crew stops.
>>81696295
Leaked casting says production is between "April 2017 to October 2017".
>>81696252
>yfw he gets the tattoo
>>81696456
Two weeks is still April, I guess.
Does production include set building and the likes? Or does that fall within pre-production?
>>81696526
Set building/dressing/location set up? Pre-production.
>>81696501
Will it look like a black tattoo, though? Considering he got it while "hugging" the molten chest of Shou-Lao, makes more sense if it looks like scarification. I believe ILW did this also, by making his brand look "flesh-coloured".
>>81696654
I'm sure he'll have the tattoo. Maybe it even glows in the final battle.
As for the costume, I'm expecting something like pic related, except with a DD S1 bandana instead of a turban, and without the yellow circle in the middle.
Audition tapes for Davos got leaked/posted.
https://desustorage.org/co/thread/81670518/#81674039
What are we thinking about the dialogue, Lads? I'm guessing he's talking to Danny?
>>81696865
Elektra's dialogue in the audition tapes was changed a bit.
Like most dialogue, it depends greatly on the actor delivery. Both of those are just terrible.
>>81696719
>>81696719
I meant that the actor actually gets the tattoo
Charlie Cox had a recent interview where he said The Defenders shoots later this year.
http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/daredevil-actor-charlie-cox-announces-filming-date-for-netflix-superhero-series-the-defenders-a6978506.html
How long does it take you to shave, op?
>>81694897
How long until comics IF gets curls?
>>81697084
>implying they ever draw characters that look different from each other out of costume
>>81697084
Well, right now he looks like Shaggy. So, maybe when he gets another ongoing?
>>81695339
*Partner
No, black side-kick shenanigans here.
>>81695334
>it's also possible they're being legitimate
Not really, no.
>>81697710
Maybe not, but a startling number of people think Danny was originally Asian to begin with.
> Otherwise why would people be so angry?
beard is probably when he's in k'un-l'un just training and not focusing on anything else
pretty based imo
>>81697989
I would have thought he would be clean-shaven in KL, he just grew the beard after trying to make his way back to the USA with whatever he managed to gather to trade. It would be a long journey back.
>>81698208
Apparently they have a scene with him waking in a hospital. He probably collapses somewhere and it transported to a hospital where he spends a bunch of time in a coma or just asleep.
So apparently this dude was cast for Davos (Arleo Dordar)
Character Name: DEVON
25 – 30 yrs old, male, please submit Asian, East Indian, Pacific Islander, etc., handsome, effortlessly-powerful, an intelligent, thoughtful warrior.
>>81698581
forgot pic
>>81698581
And this guy for some "Michael" (Murray Bartlett)
[MICHAEL REYNOLDS]mid-late 30s, therapist. Open ethnicity. Inquisitive and Authentic.
>>81697653
Luke is obviously the top in the relationship.
>>81698581
Make a new thread stat!
>>81698656
Why? It's just a rumour. No need to clog everything with IF threads.
>>81698640
He's definitely aPOWER Bottom
>>81698622
Knew he would have a therapist. No one gonna believe him went he says he comes from K'un-Lun and he's that Daniel Rand kid, that people think is dead.
>>81698829
Would be an interesting touch to play it like he tells everyone this ridiculous dragon punching story and nobody buys it. Maybe even play him as a madman for the first 2 or 3 episodes until the story actually confirms that's what happened.
I really don't think we're gonna see a dragon though. Maybe S2, when they get their own budget.
>>81698594
What ethnicity is he? He looks half East-Asian, half South-Asian, but I have no idea.
>>81698931
I have no clue. I live in a city with almost no immigrants, so they all genuinely look alike to me beyond a certain point.
Casting sheet called for East Indian, so maybe that.
>>81698973
So, is K'un-Lun going to look like a hodge-podge of every Asian ethnicity?
I hope the actor bulks up. Davos, like his father is pretty damn swole.
>>81699280
I'm thinking they are gonna pull an Avatar:TLA and every city has it's own ethnicity and culture.
>>81698581
>>81698594
What race is Steel Serpent supposed to be in the comics anyway?
>>81699421
K'un L'unese.
Although they usually go for the chinese aesthetic and lore, for the most part.
>>81698594
Lol, he looks like a Bollywoodstar, especially when he's wearing glasses.
>>81699421
Magic Chinese
>>81699421
Vaguely East-Asian, to our human eyes. Closest earthly analog, may be Chinese?
>>81698581
There's a minority report pun here that I can't quite make. Carlos?
>>81697022
Finn usually has a fresh-faced Twinky look, and in Premiers before this, he's as, I'm aware never had a beard. So, this is new.
So, the production start date is April 18th. If they're still casting, they're going right up to the line.
>>81698640
Why can't they switch?
>>81695014
I think it's the same with Tom Hiddleston, who's naturally blonde. In some pictures he was looking pretty ginger-ish. Don't know why. Does the sun play a part?
>>81698437
I thought that was another character? Danny could still be in a mental hospital, though.
>>81701346
Yeah, maybe I misinterpreted it.
>>81701365
Wow, that was a fast reply! We'll know who that character is soon. Can you believe Iron Fist starts in a week? Wow.
>>81698973
He looks kinda Philipino.
How old do you think Meachum will be?
>>81704780
Older than 9 and the story doesn't make sense.but theres a promo with a newspaper saying that he's gravely ill, so probably pretty old, I'd say.
>>81704780
>>81704874
Scratch that, he's being played by David Wenham from LoTR and 300. He looks about 40-45.
>>81705145
Fucking hell, the casting coming in thick and fast. That's for the flashbacks, right? Because, he looks still too young. I guess they could use makeup to age him.
>>81705449
Oh wait, he's 51, so it works.
>>81704874
I was talking about Harold, not Danny. Anyway, the actor cast is early 50's. He looks early 40's, but he's ill. It will work.
>>81700928
Maybe. It sure happens with non natural light. Maybe with low sun light too?
>>81694897
He grows up in K'un Lun for like 20 years or whatever so I doubt they have like electric razors.
Probably filming for the "Origin story" scenes.
>>81706327
Really, I didn't know that. Maybe the ginger Tom pic I saw, he was indoors.
>>81706451
Technology's not allowed, but they'd probably have those sharp steel razors Barbers use.
Listening to the dialogue in the leaked Davos audition, I think they may leave out the Wendell/Davos beef, and just replace it with Danny/Davos.
>>81698594
Holy shit, he's literally perfect. He has Davos traits in real life.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UDan9RUw7_Q
Is this method acting?
>>81709429
I got arrogant douchebag vibes from his website, but if this is true, well...
They should be confirming Davos shortly. Probably just need to prepare the promo teaser, and press release.
>>81705145
Thinking about it, this is GOAT casting.
>>81695198
Here's another (You) for you
>>81698581
>>81698594
Oh, so he got the part? He's audition wasn't great but it wasn't as bad as the other one.
>>81713273
My bad, got him mixed up with another guy who auditioned.
>>81713368
Yeah, the auditions are terrible, but he was in neither of those.
>>81713368
This Arleo guy is basically Davos in real life.
>>81713273
He's a strong rumour.
>>81709429
Good voice. Damn.
>>81714632
He can pull if off.
