Taking to Twitter, Comic book writer Charles Soule revealed today that an actor named James Chen is slated to appear in the upcoming season of Iron Fist as a character named Sam Chung. Fans of Daredevil might remember that name as the Man without Fear’s sidekick, Blindspot.
As created by Soule, Blindspot first appeared in the All-New, All-Different Marvel Point One one-shot immediately following Secret Wars in 2015. Chung has gone on to make 16 appearances throughout Soule’s run on the latest Daredevil title.
The character of Blindspot doesn’t have any powers per se, however he did invent a suit that makes him invisible.
“I don’t know anything about his role, whether he is or will be Blindspot,” Soule said.”But I mostly hope they keep his background from the comics. We’ll see! Fantastic either way.”
While far from any kind of a confirmation from Marvel Television or Netflix, IMDb does lists Chen as a cast member in four episodes throughout season two — episodes 2, 8, 9, and 10.
Does the possible addition of Blindspot excite you fans of Iron Fist? If nothing else, it might help draw the Daredevil followers into the party. Give us your best takes at GVNation.
