Summary:
- Krysten Ritter discussed possibly returning as Jessica Jones in the MCU during a podcast.
- Expressing her enthusiasm, Ritter highlighted Marvel’s secrecy and hinted at a potential appearance in Daredevil: Born Again, premiering on Disney Plus in 2024.
During an episode of the “Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum” podcast, Krysten Ritter discussed the potential of reprising her role as Jessica Jones in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The conversation also touched on the return of Charlie Cox as Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk (Kingpin).
Additionally, Jon Bernthal’s return as Frank Castle (Punisher) hints at Marvel Studios’ intentions to reintroduce the Netflix-Marvel cast, which includes Mike Colter as Luke Cage and Finn Jones as Iron Fist.
In the podcast, Rosenbaum inquired about the possibility of Jessica Jones returning to screens, prompting Ritter to express her enthusiasm, saying:
“I have no idea; I hope so! I think that people love Jessica; I know because I live it. Marvel is so secretive – I am just putting that out there that, of course, I would be there in a second. I would have my boots and jacket ready to rock.” via Screenrant.
Ritter’s portrayal in the Jessica Jones series originally aired on Netflix and is now available on Disney Plus, has garnered a dedicated fanbase eagerly anticipating her potential return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, much like her The Defenders co-star Charlie Cox.
Ritter has repeatedly shown interest in reprising her role, frequently sharing her appreciation for Jessica Jones on social media.
While there’s been speculation about her potential return in projects like Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel Studios has yet to confirm any official plans for her comeback.
As of now, there’s been no announcement from the cast or crew about Ritter returning as Jessica Jones.
It’s highly likely that Daredevil: Born Again will mark Ritter’s return, potentially through clever dialogue setup, as the series boasts a substantial 18-episode run, making it the lengthiest MCU series on Disney Plus so far.
With Bernthal and D’Onofrio already confirmed, there’s anticipation for additional cast members.
Currently filming in various New York locations, the series is expected to conclude production later this year and premiere exclusively on Disney Plus in 2024, setting records for both episode count and production duration for Marvel Studios.
