To be fair, these movies aren't supposed to be exact replicas of the source material, merely they're stories based off of those characters and concepts. It's no different from any of the other alternate universe storylines we get for these characters. If we can get a version of Spider-Man that's a pig or better yet, one that's japanese and pilots a Megazord, I don't see the big deal about having an asian Iron Fist.

Like I said, I wouldn't go around changing a character's race just because, but if an asian actor can fully encapsulate the core values and themes of the Iron Fist character, then I say go for it.
