David Wenham Cast As Harold Meachum In Netflix’s ‘Iron Fist’

Netflix’s adaption of the cult favorite comic, Iron Fist, is getting another addition to the cast.

David Wenham (Lord of The Rings, 300) has just been cast as Harold Meachum.

Meachum was the business partner of Wendell Rand, Danny Rand/Iron Fist father. I don’t want to get into spoiler territory, so if you’re a fan of the books then you know exactly who Meachum is.

Iron Fist follows Danny Rand as he returns to New York City after being missing for years. He fights against the criminal element corrupting New York City with his incredible kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist. This is the fourth in a five series production. Marvel and Netflix joined forces to create four different shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage). All four universes will join up in the fifth series, The Defenders.

David Wenham joins the cast alongside: Finn Jones (Danny Rand/Iron Fist) and Jessica Henwick (Colleen Wing).

Principle filming has yet to start. Iron Fist is set to air on Netflix sometime in 2017.
