It has been confirmed Simone Missick, who co-stars in the coming Luke Cage, will reprise her role as Misty Knight in Iron Fist. Jeph Loeb, Marvel Television, told THR:
“I can tell you that what she’s doing on ‘Iron Fist,’ it’s just incredible. The fans are really going to love it.”
He added:
“We certainly have plans for all of our characters. A lot of it has to do with exactly how many shows Netflix is actually going to let us make. We’re up to six now. […] At a certain point, we have to be careful that we’re not becoming the Marvel channel on Netflix.”
Missick joins Mike Colter, Mahershala Ali, Alfre Woodard, Theo Rossi, Frank Whaley and Sônia Braga in Luke Cage. The series premieres Sept. 30 on Netflix. After that, she heads to Iron Fist in 2017 with Finn Jones, Jessica Henwick, David Wenham, Jessica Stroup and Tom Pelphrey.
