RAY PARK TALKS IRON FIST
Ray Park told The Continuum that he remains interested in playing Iron Fist in a live-action film.
"I still want to do it, of course," Park told The Continuum at Wizard World East in Philadelphia. "We better hurry before I get too old (laughs), but we're doing it."
The film is set up as part of Marvel's deal with Artisan Entertainment, which also includes The Punisher.
A screenplay for Iron Fist was written by John Turman. Kirk Wong at one time was attached as director but has fallen out of the project.
"I get asked all the time when Iron Fist is going to happen," said Park, best known as Darth Maul in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and Toad in X-Men. "I want to make the film happen."
