Carrie-Anne Moss (Jessica Jones) will be reprising her role of Jeri Hogarth from Jessica Jones for Marvel’s currently filming Iron Fist series.
Iron Fist is the last solo Marvel series on Netflix before the team up mini-series called The Defenders. The Defenders will star Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Iron Fist (Finn Jones).
Jeri Hogarth is a gender-swapped version of Jeryn Hogarth from the comics. In the comics Jeryn is more closely associated with Iron Fist than the other heroes, so Jeri making an appearance in Iron Fist makes sense. Hogarth started out as a friend of Wendell Rand, Danny’s father, before becoming the lawyer for “Heroes for Hire,” the superhero business that Danny and Luke ran together.
Head of Marvel TV Jeph Loeb said:
“Carrie-Anne has fast become a fan-favorite part of our street level saga, and we share our viewers’ excitement in bringing her into Marvel’s Iron Fist. As Marvel fans know, Hogarth in the comics plays a critical role in the life of Danny Rand, so it seems only fitting that Carrie-Anne join in.”
Showrunner and executive producer Scott Buck added:
“Danny Rand lives in the highest stratosphere of New York’s business society and he’s going to need a ruthless lawyer to help him navigate this alien world. I’m very happy to have the opportunity to bring Carrie-Anne Moss as Jeri Hogarth into Marvel’s Iron Fist.”
Iron Fist will mark the third appearance of Moss/Jeri Jogarth in the Marvel/Netflix universe. Following her supporting role in Jessica Jones she also appeared in the Daredevil Season 2 finale episode “A Cold Day in Hell’s Kitchen”.
“In “Marvel’s Iron Fist,” Danny Rand returns to New York City after being missing for years, trying to reconnect with his past and his family legacy. He fights against the criminal element corrupting his world around him with his incredible kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist.”
The Iron Fist series is expected to debut on Netflix sometime in 2017.
