Colleen Wing has undoubtedly become a fan-favorite in the Marvel world. What drew you to the role in the first place?

I had been in talks with Marvel prior to Iron Fist and I had researched all the prominent female roles that I was interested in. Colleen Wing came up really early in the process, and I had a strange feeling. Iron Fist had already been announced, but no other news about it had been released. And so I wrote to my agent and I said, “If that ever goes into production, and you ever hear about a character that has these characteristics, let me know.” And lo and behold, a year ago, she messages me and she says, “Okay, so there’s this project, and it’s got a codename—and the character is called ‘Christine,’ but she matches all the characteristics you had mentioned. I think it’s the one you were talking about.” So I read the sides, and it was immediately clear to me that was it.

There were so many things that I liked about her. She’s strong but she’s vulnerable. She’s got this hard, New York exterior to her, but the Japanese culture [from which she hails] is so counter to that. So she’s kind of this walking contradiction, and I just thought there were a lot of places I could go with her.

So I made a self-tape, flew to LA, auditioned with [Finn Jones], got on a plane, and when I landed, I had a phone call from [Iron Fist producer] Jeph Loeb, saying, “I have three words that are gonna change your life forever: Welcome to Marvel.’”

Colleen really is a great character!!!
I didn't know her before (I'm not really into reading comic books), but once I started seeing the promos for IF I immediately liked her :D
And Marvel did cast a great actress to play her :D

She really became my first favorite character while watching the show, probably even more than Danny. :love:

^ Same to me!! :nod: she is my favorite character :nod:
I think it's mostly because she is such a strong and independent asian character (I can't help but automatically like her :lol:)

Yes, Asians represent! :high_five:

Jessica was at SDCC! I thought she wasn't going to attend. :thud:

Colleen is such an amazing character and probably was one of my favourite part of the show in S1.

she was in game of thrones tonight :)

^ yeah :nod: I'm happy she managed to find some free time to go back to GOT this season... even though I really dislike her character in the show it would've been a shame if she just diappeared.

Noticed that :)

Since the shootings for IF might take a while to begin, I wonder if she'll work on a new project :sigh:

***

:lol: the bag story seems funny... I would love if someone had got that in a vid or BTS footage :lol:

I'm glad her character died on GOT. :look: :blush: Wow that IG pic, it looks kind of bleak, the weather.

Thanks for the YT clip! Will catch up to everything I missed at SDCC this weekend. :fingers_crossed:

^ :lol: Me too.. Another pic from GOT
