Iron Mouse...

Haaaaa Yaaaaa...




Chop, chop...
With each passing day we get a clearer picture of what the first films Marvel makes for the Mouse will be...

We know that they're developing "Runaways," "Doctor Strange" and possibly "Ant-Man," in addition to the sequels to "Captain America" and "Thor." Then if everything goes well, we're going to see a "S.H.I.E.L.D." film after the world becomes exposed to "Avengers."

Now comes word from Deadline Hollywood that Marvel has hired Rich Wilkes to write the screenplay adaptation of "Iron Fist" for a future theatrical debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The character has been a popular second-tier character since his debut in the early 70's. Now, if this character makes some serious green for the Mouse, maybe we'll get to see one of my all time favorite, and least known characters: "Shang- Chi, Master of Kung Fu." I would love to see that film done faithfully to series in the theme of the early Gene Day days.

But I'm looking forward to seeing Danny Rand turn those hands of his into a weapon of total awesomeness...

Gene Day's work was great, I remember those issues well. This might be good. Is Rich Wilkes a good writer?
