The casting call has led to speculations that the character is Lady Gorgon aka Tanya Adrian. She is known for having a strong connection to The Hand, who has a huge part in the "Iron Fist" storyline.
In addition to her skills as an assassin, Lady Gorgon is also capable of controlling her enemies' minds and making them experience emotional pain. Based on the comic books, Jigsaw was the one who hired Lady Gorgon to kill Frank. She later on died at the hands of Master Yoshiokya.
Jones talked about season 2 of the Netflix series in August and he teased that more improvements will be done on the fight sequences. "Moving into Season 2 of Iron Fist, I'm actually starting my training next week," the actor said in late August.
He added, "We're at least four or five months away from shooting, so this time around, I'm being given a lot more preparation leading up to season 2, which I think is really gonna have a huge improvement on the quality of the fight scenes in season 2 of 'Iron Fist.'"
"Iron Fist" season 2 is expected to premiere sometime next year on Netflix. An exact release date has yet to be announced.
