Krysten Ritter akan Jessica Jones Officially Joins MCU For Daredevil Sequel

[RAMROD 107,701]

Krysten Ritter is officially back as hard-fighting, hard-drinking Marvel hero Jessica Jones. 

The announcement was made during Disney’s upfront presentation to advertisers in New York on Tuesday. Ritter took the stage with Charlie Cox, star of “Daredevil Born Again,” to reveal that she would be joining that show for its second season. 

“It’s so great to be back, returning to Jessica after three seasons and ‘The Defenders’ and now joining the MCU,” Ritter said. “I’m so excited to bring back this iconic character, and without giving too much away, there is much more in store for Jessica Jones. This is going to be an incredible season!”

Ritter first played Jones in the self-titled Netflix series that debuted in 2015. “Jessica Jones” was one of five Marvel shows to air on Netflix, along with “Daredevil,” “Luke Cage,” “Iron First,” “The Punisher,” and the crossover series “The Defenders.” “Jessica Jones” ultimately aired for three seasons, with its final Netflix season airing in 2019. It was canceled, along with all the other Marvel-Netflix shows, when Disney initiated plans to air Marvel Cinematic Universe shows on Disney+.

Ritter received widespread praise for her portrayal of the character, who has super strength and the ability to fly. After a brief but failed stint as a superhero, Jones began working as a private investigator in New York.

I hope Jessica Jones is showing more of her power in this one VS the Netflix series that's very subdued

I haven't watched much of the Marvel Netflix shows—I watched the first season of Jessica Jones, but I forgot almost all of it now—but I hope Born Again S2 is better than S1. S1 had some cool moments, but I thought it was kinda bad tbch. Excited that she's coming back though. She's definitely the Defender I'm most interested in.

I figured the Netflix shows including Jessica Jones and Defenders were retroactively officially part of the MCU once Wilson Fisk showed up in Hawkeye and Matt showed up in No Way Home and She-Hulk. 
 

Good for her!

True but that first season is also one of the best things marvel ever made
