Bow to Colleen Wing, Netflix subscribers.
The streaming giant gave the world its best look so far at the female lead character from “Marvel’s Iron Fist” on Wednesday morning during a company press event in New York City. Played by Jessica Henwick, Wing is a Japanese martial artist who will avenge her grandfather’s death with the help of the series’ titular superhero, Danny Rand’s (Finn Jones) alter-ego.
Here’s her backstory from the comics: After arriving in New York City, Wing befriends former cop Misty Knight, whom she starts a private investigation agency with. As P.I.s, the two often collaborate with Heroes for Hire, which is comprised of Luke Cage and the aforementioned Iron Fist.
