David Wenham Cast In Marvel's Iron Fist

Australian actor David Wenham (300, The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King) has signed on to play Harold Meachum in Marvel's Iron Fist on Netflix.

Described as a ruthless corporate leader, Meachum was partners with Danny Rand's (Finn Jones) parents up until the time of their deaths.

"I’m very excited to have David as our Harold Meachum. David is capable of displaying raw, visceral strength as well as extremely keen intelligence," said Executive Producer and Showrunner, Scott Buck. "This will add up to a character of complex depth who will keep us off balance all season." 

"David brings both a vulnerability and a danger to his many diverse roles," said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. "This key quality creates a gravitas our series requires as Danny unravels the secrets behind Rand Enterprises."

In "Marvel’s Iron Fist," Daniel Rand 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.

Jessica Henwick also stars in the Netflix Original Series. The actress will play Colleen Wing
