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!

don’t know iron fist but i thought jensen would be perfect for daredevil, & in final analysis what ever can create an oportunity for him to do something else & move beyond that shipreck that is curently spn which creatively speaking goes down like titanic dragging jensen along is better than nothing, especially if you take in consideration that he is wasting his talent on that show since tptb constantly & blatanly ignore him by not giving him any story arcs or variations to his character 9 seasons now when he is suppose to be a lead, so thumbs up to daredevil or any other part that can move forward his career instead of dragging it down like spn does
I disagree with your first and third choices, but found your other three spot on. I would have moved Hedlund to number one, Jensen to number two and Paul Walker to number five. Cyril Raffelli would be my number 3, assuming he could do an american accent. My number 4, although he is already attached to a series right now, albeit in a bit role, is Steven R. Mqueen, who plays in the Vampire Diaries.
This looks like it could go really good or really bad. step 1 though : pick the correct actors that appeal to the fans
Sadly #4 isnt going to ever happen now. R.I.P.
I don’t know but before I found out Iron Fist was going to be a series, I really wanted Iron Fist to be played my Chris Pine
I think Jensen Ackles would be a badass Ghost Rider. A Marvelous Ghost Rider. He does the tortured soul, bad boy well. I just wouldn’t know where to place Ghost Rider in the MCU right now. Probably on Netflix down the line in own series or as an adversary for Daredevil or Iron First. Throw a little Strange into the mix.
Matt Bomer from White Collar would probably be good.
