Marvel has announced that David Wenham will star alongside Finn Jones and Colleen Wing in Netflix's Iron Fist series. THE LORD OF THE RINGS and 300 actor has been cast as Harold Meachum, "a ruthless corporate leader who was partners with Danny Rand’s parents at the time of their deaths. What role he plays in Danny’s past and future will be revealed over the course of the series."

In a statement, executive producer and showrunner Scott Buck said, "I’m very excited to have David as our Harold Meachum. David is capable of displaying raw, visceral strength as well as extremely keen intelligence. This will add up to a character of complex depth who will keep us off balance all season."
