It is official: Krysten Ritter is becoming a member of the MCU as Jessica Jones in Daredevil: Born Once more season 2. The announcement got here throughout Disney‘s upfronts presentation with its advertisers (by way of Selection).
Ritter, who performed Jessica Jones in three seasons of her personal self-titled present together with the team-up collection Defenders, joined the decision herself, expressing her pleasure at bringing again the fan-favorite character.
“It is so nice to be again, returning to Jessica after three seasons and The Defenders and now becoming a member of the MCU,” Ritter mentioned. “I am so excited to deliver again this iconic character, and with out giving an excessive amount of away, there’s far more in retailer for Jessica Jones. That is going to be an unbelievable season!”
“Rather more in retailer” may imply fairly a bit, particularly contemplating that Jon Bernthal’s return as Punisher in Daredevil: Born Once more has led to Frank Fort getting his personal streaming particular. With Ritter now returning, the forged is midway there to a full-on Defenders reunion, with Mike Colter’s Luke Cage and Finn Jones’ Danny Rand/Iron Fist the 2 Defenders heroes who have not gotten the official call-up.
That mentioned, numerous followers felt that the Defenders team-up collection and its surrounding Netflix reveals didn’t dwell as much as among the crossover potential of the characters, with a Heroes For Rent partnership by no means evolving between Iron Fist and Luke Cage, and the latter’s romance with Jessica Jones, a key plot level in comics, solely being touched on.
With that a lot room left to completely discover the characters, particularly as a part of the MCU, there is a ton of potential of what is to come back. And if somebody has to completely beg, I’ll personally make a plea for Mike Colter’s Luke Cage particularly to make it to the MCU.
Daredevil: Born Once more season two is in manufacturing for a March 2026 premiere. Within the meantime, take a look at our information to all the opposite upcoming superhero motion pictures and all upcoming Marvel motion pictures on the best way in 2025 and past.
