Alice Eve's mystery character is featured in new Iron Fist season 2 photos. Marvel and Netlfix's partnership started off strong with Daredevil and Jessica Jones, but the quality of the shows has not always been maintained. While Luke Cage started strong, it fell apart in the second half. But, no show was quite as disliked as what came with the first season of Iron Fist. Burdened with controversy before it even came out, the show's slow pace and somewhat obnoxious lead turned many away.

Despite the negativity surrounding season 1, Netflix still renewed Iron Fist for a second season - but this time with a brand new showrunner. Production on Iron Fist began late last year, with Finn Jones returning as Danny Rand. He'll be surrounded by largely the same main cast as the first season, but with one major new face. Alice Eve recently joined the series in a mysterious role, and we've yet to get any real details on her character up until now.

Finn Jones Central shared new set photos from season 2 of Iron Fist that finally offer up a look at Alice Eve's character. She can be seen helping Danny, who appears to be in pain. Both appear to be trying to not be identified considering both have their hoodies up, but we can still see Eve's character's reddish hair come through.

Since Marvel has yet to reveal the identity of Eve's character, many have latched on to the idea of her playing Lady Gorgon. A casting call for season 2 of Iron Fist revealed the show was looking to cast "Tanya Parker," which is believed to actually be a cover for Tanya Adrian aka Lady Gorgon. This is the only major female character to surface from casting calls, but Eve doesn't totally match up with the description. There's also the fact that Lady Gorgon is a villain, so either Danny hasn't figured that out yet, an uneasy alliance has been made, or that isn't who Eve is playing.

Unfortunately, these photos don't offer much to decipher or give new clues as to who Eve will be playing. She appears to be more of a friend than a foe at this point, so fans may have to go back to square one and start theorizing all over again. If fan speculation doesn't successfully crack her identity, then it may be a while until its revealed. Netflix just dropped season 2 of Jessica Jones and debuted the trailer for Luke Cage season 2 recently. With Daredevil season 3 looking to come next, there will be plenty of time before season 2 of Iron Fist takes the spotlight and who exactly Alice Eve is playing is finally revealed.
