Candice Patton has denied rumors about her character in the upcoming "The Flash" series.

The actress who plays Iris, Barry Allen's love interest, said at the Dragon Con Panel that her character would not be taking on the leadership of S.T.A.R. labs. She said, "I don't know where you guys are hearing this, but I think it's a gross exaggeration that Iris is going to take over leadership at S.T.A.R. Labs."

However, she revealed that Iris is a fighter and she will continue to fight in the upcoming series. She added, "What I will say is that she does encourage Barry Allen to come back to S.T.A.R. Labs and get the team together and keep fighting to protect Central City. As far as being a leader at S.T.A.R. Labs? No, that doesn't happen. Iris has a job. She works at Picture News and we know her as this iconic reporter and what I will say about her strength is that this season we will see her step into that role which I am very excited about because I think she has a lot to offer Team Flash in that way."

"The Flash" is one of the most anticipated series of the fall season especially after the first season, which obtained rave reviews and won a huge following. Very few details are known about where the series will develop but it was recently revealed that the Zoom will be the main antagonist and the character will be similar to Darth Vader in Star Wars.

The upcoming season will also star Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, Tom Cavanagh as Dr. Harrison Wells, and Carlos Valdes as Cisco Ramon. The show will also showcase many new heroes and possibly more crossovers from other DC Comics.

"The Flash" Season 2 is will premiere on Oct. 6 on the CW
