Finn Jones Reveals That Wu-Tang Clan's RZA Helmed An Episode Of Marvel's IRON FIST

We learned about 9 of the 13 Iron Fist directors last week, and now, we've just gotten wind of another. It's hip-hop icon RZA, who according to Finn Jones, played an integral role in shaping Danny Rand.

Music, despite not playing a major role in Daredevil & Jessica Jones, played a fairly significant part throughout the course of Luke Cage season one and it sure sounds like Marvel/Netflix's next joint-collaboration Iron Fist is planning on following the same route.

Last Friday, during a Facebook Q&A session with Extra, star Finn Jones explained his highly intricate process of getting into character as Danny Rand for the very first time: "So before I started the role, I actually made a playlist on my iPod of songs that Danny Rand would listen to" He then went on to list off a few of the artists we may or may not hear over the course of thirteen episodes: "It’s a lot of kind of '90s hip-hop like De La Soul, Jurassic 5, A Tribe Called Quest, Wu Tang Clan. Like that kind of music is really what Danny’s jamming to. And we actually feature that in the series."

The conversation got even more interesting near the end when Jones let slip the identity of one of his directors: "And actually, one of our episodes was directed by the RZA himself. Episode 6. So, yeah, there’s very close ties to hip-hop music and the Iron Fist series." Episode six is titled "Immortal Emerges From Cave" and was one of the four episodes a recent report curiously failed to provide a director for and it now looks like we know why.

RZA is of course best known as the leader of the legendary hip hop group, Wu-Tang Clan, and previously helmed The Man with the Iron Fists, which was his homage to classic martial arts films. Jones wisely opted to avoid accidentally divulging anything else about the series, but did speak highly of his experience working with RZA: "Oh he’s a dude. Really super chill. Has a really good vision of what he wants. And he really understands that genre, the martial arts genre."

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

I know nothing of the Wu-Tang except that stoner movie and Old Dirty Bastards line from some old song, "Bitch give me my money".
