While the Marvel-Netflix deal has garnered a lot of attention, especially considering that Jessica Jones will soon be released, it almost seems like one of the four announced shows has become a popular talking point. The more mythical character of Iron Fist has been put into the spotlight more often than not with rumors stating that the character is having problems being adapted in the more realitstic and gritty world of New York City, some say they are planning on making it into a film, and many more. Now, Joe Quesada may have an answer to these many online debates on the situation of Iron Fist.[1]

“I’m pretty involved. I’m not on set everyday but I’m pretty involved. Iron Fist is being worked on, that’s all I can say. Where did you read these rumors? The Internet? Then they must be true!” he said jokingly while laughing off any theories that the show might have been cancelled.

Fruthermore, he also briefly touched upon a potential Punisher Netflix show, something that was also rumored to replace the upcoming Iron Fist show due to it being grounded in more realism. “We'd love to do something with [the character] but it's way too early to tell. We don't like to discuss which metrics we use to decide [which character gets a spinoff]. What I can tell you is that anyone who is a hardcore Punisher fan is going to be blown away and incredibly satisfied by Berenthal's take on Frank Castle. It's one of those cases where it's the character from the pages, come to life."
