* [[Jessica Henwick]] as [[Colleen Wing (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Colleen Wing]]:
An ally of Rand, a martial artist who runs her own dojo, Chikara Dojo, in New York City. Henwick felt the word that defined Wing most was "alone", saying, "She doesn't want to be anyone's love interest and open herself up in that way." In her portrayal, Henwick also tried "to pull out that sort of very dry humor that [Wing] has, and that no-bullshit New-Yorker demeanor" from the comics' version of the character.

* [[Tom Pelphrey]] as [[Ward Meachum (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ward Meachum]]:
The son of Harold Meachum, a childhood acquaintance of Rand. His work building up [[Rand Enterprises (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Rand Enterprises]] with his sister Joy is threatened by Rand's return. Although Ward is a character from the comics, Pelphrey noted "we're not necessarily beholden to representing him [in the series] exactly as he appears in the comic book." Stroup said that Ward would experience some "male angst" on Rand's return, because "Ward would have been the one who picked on [Rand] when he was little, so as pure and innocent and great as Iron Fist is, he comes in and he causes some problems" there. Ilan Eskenazi portrays a teenage Ward Meachum.
