‘Iron Fist’ Season 2 Adds Alice Eve To The Cast
In case you forgot, everyone’s least-favorite Defender is getting a second season!Iron Fistseason 2 is currently in pre-production, andStar Trek Into Darknessco-starAlice Evehas just joined the cast. There are no details on Eve’s role yet, but it’s likely at one point she’ll come in contact with Danny Rand and mutter “Ugh, you’re the worst” under her breath.
Iron Fistwas not the best of the Marvel Netflix shows, but that hasn’t stopped Marvel and Netflix from forging ahead.Iron Fistseason 2 got the greenlight in July, which means we’ll be treated to further adventures ofFinn Jones' disappointing hero Danny Rand, aka the Immortal Iron Fist, as he stumbles through a new adventure. And he’ll have company:Star Trek Into DarknessandBlack Mirroractress Alice Eve has just joined the cast, according toMarvel. There are no details about just who Eve is playing, butJeph Loeb, Marvel’s Head of Television andIron FistExecutive Producer, had this to say:
Perhaps theIron Fistseason 2 will be a pleasant surprise. After all, the series has hired a new showrunner,Raven Metzner. There’s a good chance that Metzner will be able to rectify the mistakes of the first season and turn the series into something special. Anything is possible. Of Eve’s casting, Metzner said:
“We’re over the moon that Alice Eve is joining us this season. We think she’s going to be a great addition to an already stellar cast.”
Eve joins a cast that includesJessica Henwick(who was the best element ofIron Fistand deserves her own series),Tom Pelphrey,Jessica Stroup, andSacha Dhawan. The second season has “Danny Rand, The Immortal Iron Fist and Colleen Wing set off on a new adventure as the protectors of Chinatown in NYC – where death, action and surprises await them around every corner.”
WhileIron Fistseason 1 could’ve been a lot better, I will concede that star Finn Jones seemed to find his grove with the character in the team-up seriesThe Defenders. It also helped thatKrysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones was on hand to roll her eyes at nearly everything Dany Rand said. Maybe she can guest star in season 2 and do more of the same.
