Simone Missick Wants Misty Knight Spin-Off

We haven't even seen her on screen yet and there's already talk of a Misty Knight spin-off on Netflix. The actress who plays her, Simone Missick, said in an interview

Somebody put it on Twitter that they want to see a Misty Knight series with Shonda Rhimes as one of the writers. I was like, 'Hell yeah.' How cool would that be? If you say it, if you put it out there, maybe it will happen. Tweet it, and it will come.

Marvel head of TV Jeph Loeb commented,

I think Netflix is being very selective in terms of where we're going. That being said, Simone just knocked it so far out of the park that we're still trying to find the baseball. It's somewhere out there traversing the globe. So it's really great. And I can tell you that what she's doing on Iron Fist, it's just incredible. The fans are really going to love it.
