Alice Eve Joins Marvel's IRON FIST Season 2, Will She Play An Ally Or Adversary?
Alice Eve has signed on for Iron Fist season 2. Is she playing Tanya Adrian aka Lady Gorgon, a recent Marvel Comics creation and rumored foil of the Marvel-Netflix collaboration's sophomore season?
Just a few days after reports surfaced that Lady Gorgon would be the main antagonist of Iron Fist season 2, Variety has confirmed that Star Trek Into Darkness' Alice Eve has signed on for the Marvel-Netflix collaboration's sophomore season in a "mysterious role".
The Hashtag Show's original report stated that though the comic book version of Lady Gorgon has ties to The Hand, they're not 100% sure if that will be the case in the Marvel TV show. It also added that this version of the character would be more of a "chameleon" adversary that specializes in covert ops.
Not much is known about Iron Fist season 2, as Danny Rand's status is up in the air, following the events of The Defenders. Some are speculating that Danny will carry on Daredevil's crime-fighting legacy after his "apparent" demise in a tunnel collapse. Another route would be exploring Danny's role in Rand Enterprises and their years of shady, under-table dealings.
Finn Jones will be back in the titular role, along with Jessica Henwick (Colleen Wing), Tom Pelphrey (Ward Meachum), Jessica Stroup (Joy Meachum), and Sacha Dhawan (Davos).
Raven Metzner (Sleepy Hollow) will be replacing Scott Buck as showrunner after he departed the series for Marvel's Inhumans.
