Marvel Studios has hired Rich Wilkes to work on its Iron Fist movie.

The xXx screenwriter is to draft a live action martial arts movie based on the property, reports Deadline.com.

Iron Fist was created by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane in the 1970s and enjoyed a recent rise in popularity in Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction and David Aja's ongoing and critically acclaimed series The Immortal Iron Fist.

Marvel attempted to create an Iron Fist film in 2000 as a vehicle for actor and martial arts expert Ray Park, but the project never progressed past its early stages.
