Having cast Finn Jones as Danny Rand in its upcoming Netflix series Iron Fist, Marvel has now added another Game of Thrones star, with Entertainment Weekly reporting that Jessica Henwick has secured the role of Colleen Wing.
The site reveals that Iron Fist’s Colleen will be “a martial arts expert running her own dojo who will serve as an invaluable ally to Iron Fist as he returns to his life in New York.”
Henwick portrays Nymeria Sand in Game of Thrones, and also appeared in Star Wars: The Force Awakens as the X-Wing pilot Jessika Pava, who we saw briefly during the attack on Starkiller Base.
