A recent panel interview with Jessica Henwick was @ Supercon Live!
Interesting tidbits.
>Didn't know about Marvel's street-level characters, until Netfix. That's how she found out about Iron Fist.
>She proceeded to reseach his supporting cast. "You can't do Iron Fist, without Colleen Wing!"
>She really wanted to audition for the part so E-Mailed her agent descriptors of Colleen Wing to look out for. As she knows Marvel never releases the characters real names with the slides.
>Knew she really wanted to play Ms.Wing, because there is a sparse amount of Asian-American heroes in comics, and she views her as one of the best.
Panel moderator hopes she gets more love in the comics from success in the show. Agreement all round, there.
>Thought it was weird her and Finn would co-lead the same show, but sees it as a positive, because that believable friendship chemistry will show on screen.

She's still a lot younger than I'd imagine Colleen Wing, but it's nice to see someone really determined to snag a coverted role.
