Variety is reporting that Leah Gibson has joined the cast of Marvel's Jessica Jones season two in a series regular role as Ingrid, a character that's being described as an edgy, street-wise nurse.

As far as we know, there's no pertinent comic connection with Jessica and Ingrid, but back in April, when season two casting breakdowns surfaced online, there was a lot of speculation that suggested "Ingrid" could be code for either a genderswapped Ian Soo, a bisexual character that originated in Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat!, or the popular Daredevil villain Typhoid Mary. Variety's report does mention Mary and her three distinct and violent personalities but was unable to obtain any sort of confirmation from Netflix.

Production on the eagerly awaited second season is currently underway with a 2018 debut in mind.

Gibson's past film credits include minor roles in Zack Snyder's Watchmen, David Slade's The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and Rupert Wyatt's Rise of the Planet of the Apes. She's also appeared in episodes of Psych, Supernatural, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, and The 100.

So, what do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

After a tragic ending to her short-lived super hero stint, Jessica Jones is rebuilding her personal life and career as a detective who gets pulled into cases involving people with extraordinary abilities in New York City.

Jessica Jones features:
Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones
Rachael Taylor as Patricia "Trish" Walker/Hellcat
Carrie-Anne Moss as Jeri Hogarth
Eka Darville as Malcolm Ducasse
Janet McTeer in an undisclosed role
Leah Gibson as Ingrid

Jessica Jones season two premieres 2018

Looking forward to finding out who the villain is. It's exciting to see the street level side of the MCU continue to grow. I hope we get to the point where we finally have an MCU populated by multiple C/D-list heroes and villains. That's one of my favorite parts of the Marvel Universe.

Would be cooler if she was the real Claire Temple, and Rosario is revealed to be Angela del Toro working undercover.

@KyElofKrypton - If you watched Iron Fist or Daredevil, you may have already seen the hints they dropped that Claire is going to become White Tiger.
