Rumor: Female Iron Fist in MCU’s ‘Eyes of Wakanda’?

In the ever-expanding tapestry of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the latest buzz centers around a captivating twist that may redefine the lore of a beloved character. The forthcoming animated series, ‘Eyes of Wakanda,’ is rumored to introduce a female Iron Fist, bringing a fresh and exciting perspective to the MCU narrative.

The narrative arc takes a unique approach by delving into the past of Wakanda, the technologically advanced and enigmatic nation in the heart of Africa. As part of Black Panther duology director Ryan Coogler’s multi-year TV deal with Disney, ‘Eyes of Wakanda’ promises a deep dive into Wakanda’s rich history, specifically exploring the responsible management of its signature resource, vibranium. The official logline, as provided by Marvel to Variety’s BeAnna Bell, sets the stage: “Throughout Wakandan history, brave warriors have been tasked to travel the world retrieving dangerous vibranium artifacts. This is their story.”

While details about the creative team behind ‘Eyes of Wakanda’ and the cast are still shrouded in mystery, insiders have hinted at the involvement of Ryan Coogler in some capacity. The extent of his participation remains unclear, adding an element of anticipation for fans eagerly awaiting this animated installment.

However, one detail has emerged from the shadows, thanks to noted insider CanWeGetSomeToast. In an exclusive revelation on January 9th, the scoop hinted at a pivotal moment in the series where Wakanda’s warriors would encounter a female Iron Fist. According to the insider, this character would deviate from established Marvel Comics incarnations and instead be an original creation named Janora. Her story is said to intertwine with that of a Wakandan native named Basha, adding layers of complexity to the narrative.

Given Janora’s status as an ‘MCU Original’ character and the anthology format of ‘Eyes of Wakanda,’ the inspiration for her character remains a tantalizing mystery. However, speculation draws parallels to Fan Fei, the Iron Fist of 1,000,000 B.C. Introduced by writer Jason Aaron in Marvel Legacy Vol. 1 #1, Fan Fei holds a unique place in Iron Fist lore. Accidentally slaying the dragon Shou-Lao, she became the very first Iron Fist, earning the powerful Living Weapon. Her subsequent exile from K’un L’un, the immortal martial arts sanctuary, led her to defend humanity on Earth as part of the prehistoric Avengers.

The potential incorporation of elements from Fan Fei’s narrative into Janora’s character adds an intriguing layer to the speculation. Marvel Studios’ recent trend of exploring post-2014 content, evident in adaptations like Sam Wilson’s Captain America in ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ and the introduction of Riri Williams in ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,’ raises expectations for how Janora’s character will contribute to the evolving MCU landscape.

As ‘Eyes of Wakanda’ charts its course through time and space, the prospect of a female Iron Fist, especially one with roots in an original character like Janora, underscores Marvel Studios’ commitment to innovation and expanding the diversity of its superhero roster. Fans eagerly await more revelations about the series, hoping for a narrative that not only pays homage to established comic lore but also paves the way for exciting new developments in the MCU.
