5 reasons to love Jessica Henwick of Netflix and Marvel’s ‘Iron Fist’
British actress, who plays martial artist Colleen Wing in show, has also appeared in ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’
With Season 2 of Netflix and Marvel’s superhero series Iron Fist coming out, let’s take a look at why we love actress Jessica Henwick, who plays martial artist Colleen Wing in the show.
You might also remember her in Game of Thrones as Nymeria Sand or in The Defenders, but regardless of what roles you have seen her play on screen, she’s a very lovable person – and here’s why.
1. She’s a hufflepuff!
For the Harry Potter lovers out there, you’ll know what we mean.
For those who aren’t, Hufflepuff is probably the most inclusive among the four houses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and its values hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play.
Henwick is adorably dressed up as a Hogwarts student – and she has also mentioned a desire to star in any Harry Potter films if given the opportunity.
2. She’s a toughie
If you have watched her in Iron Fist, you’ll know what a fantastic fighter her character, Wing, is. Instead of getting a stunt double, she does her own stunts and fight scenes.
