With Henwick slated to return as Colleen Wing in The Defenders, one might further see why she was considering exiting the critically acclaimed series for a recurring role in Marvel’s Netflix universe.
The decision to drop Game Of Thrones for Iron Fist may sound silly, considering the HBO show’s proven success, but the Marvel role is a bigger gig for Jessica Henwick than her side character status on the fantasy drama.
Ultimately, both roles worked out in a way that pleased all parties, which has to make all those long flights worth it for Henwick, whose celebrity profile continues to rise following her appearance in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
