1. Liam Hemsworth
Since playing Thor for the first time back in 2011, Chris Hemsworth’s career has exploded (see his magnificent performance in Rush recently for example), but his younger brother has also shown that he’s equally capable of delivering the goods after memorable appearances in The Hunger Games and The Expendables 2. Liam has the looks, charisma and build for a superhero, and of all those mentioned here, he arguably is the closest to Iron Fist in all of those respects. A role such as this will require a lot of fight training – Danny Rand is after all an expert martial artist – and it’s easy to imagine an actor like Hemsworth being hungry enough for a role such as this (which could arguably help elevate him to the A-List as it has his brother) to really commit and deliver a portrayal that even the pickiest of fans will fail to find an issue with. Liam is also on Marvel’s radar as he too auditioned for the role of the God of Thunder!
