Marvel-Netflix series "Iron Fist" has reportedly begun auditioning Asian actors for the role of 'Master of Kung Fu', Shang-Chi.
The addition of Shang-Chi may help aid fans' disappointment after the show cast a Caucasian, instead of an Asian-American, for the lead role, reported Aceshowbiz.
Shang-Chi, whose martial art skills come from skill and training, may get his own spin-off series if the fan reception warrants it.
The new series follows Daniel Rand aka Iron Fist, who returns to New York City after he has been missing for years. He will fight against the criminal element corrupting New York City with his incredible kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist.
Filming on "Iron Fist" will begin in April. Scott Buck, who served as showrunner for the final seasons of "Dexter", will helm the series.
Carrie-Anne Moss may reprise her "Marvel's Jessica Jones" character Jeri Hogarth.
