‘Luke Cage’ Season 2 Spoilers:Luke, Claire Relationship Going Strong; Lucy Liu Directs Episode

Filming for "Luke Cage" Season 2 is now underway and new set photos confirm that Claire Temple and the titular character's relationship remains strong. Likewise, video footage showed Lucy Liu on the set, which hints that either she appears in the series or directs an episode.

Comic Book Movie shared photos from the filming of "Luke Cage" Season 2, which show Claire (Rosario Dawson) and Luke Cage (Mike Colter) lock lips. It is unclear what happens in this scene, but seeing how the characters are dressed hints they are off or just came from a formal gathering. The titular hero is in a suit and tie and Claire had on a dress, unlike her usual casual jeans and t-shirt.

The photos confirm that Claire is very much alive when "Luke Cage" Season 2 opens. Fans initially feared that she is dead and that her death pushes Luke to become a vigilante. This would ultimately make him a member of the Defenders.

Likewise, seeing Luke and Claire kiss also cements their relationship in "Luke Cage" Season 2. It means their relationship remains intact and is only going strong. Clearly, the titular hero has moved on from his past relationships especially with Jessica Jones.

Meanwhile, a video footage showed Lucy Liu on the set of "Luke Cage" Season 2 in Harlem. It remains unclear if she has a cameo appearance in one of the episodes. It is likely though that she directed one of the show's 13 episodes. The "Elementary" star has had directing experiences in the past including "Graceland" and in "Elementary."

Hypable shared a photo of Liu looking very much like the director while on the set of "Luke Cage" Season 2. The Instagram account of Harlem Coffee Co also shared photos of the actress and one image confirmed she is directing an episode of the series.

It remains unknown which episode in "Luke Cage" Season 2 Liu directed. Likewise, it remains unclear which episode Luke and Claire will kiss. Fans will eventually find out when the show returns to Netflix in 2018.
