If you’ve ever shouted at your screen, “Bring back Jessica Jones!”, you’re not alone. Krysten Ritter, the actor behind Marvel’s snarky, whiskey-loving private investigator, admits she’s flooded daily with one burning question: “Will we see Jessica Jones again?”
With Daredevil: Born Again heating up Disney+ and Season 2 already in the works, fans are crossing their fingers for a cameo (or better yet, a full-blown team-up) between Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock and Ritter’s tough-as-nails heroine. But here’s the twist: Ritter’s waiting by the phone just like the rest of us.
“I’d Do It in a Heartbeat”—Ritter’s Ready, But Marvel Hasn’t Called
In a recent chat with CBS Mornings, Ritter didn’t hold back her love for the role:
“Listen, I love Jessica Jones. If Marvel asked, I’d be there—jacket on, coffee in hand. Heck, I might still have the leather jacket I ‘borrowed’ from set!”
While actors often play coy about MCU rumors (looking at you, Andrew Garfield), Ritter’s tone suggests this isn’t a secret script tease. No calls. No texts. Just radio silence.
But why the hold-up? Marvel’s already confirmed Netflix’s Daredevil and The Punisher as MCU canon, and Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle is already back in action. So where’s our favorite super-strong PI?
Netflix Defenders: Who’s Coming Back—And Who’s Left Out?
Remember the gritty, street-level heroes of Netflix’s Marvel era? Here’s the rundown:
- Jessica Jones: 3 seasons (2015–2019). Status: MIA.
- Luke Cage & Iron Fist: 2 seasons each. Status: Crickets.
- The Punisher: 2 seasons. Status: Back in action (Bernthal’s already filming!).
Marvel Studios’ Brad Winderbaum recently teased Entertainment Weekly about reviving these fan favorites:
“It’s creatively thrilling to explore. But TV isn’t a comic book—we juggle actors’ schedules and massive production scales. Still, we’re digging into it.”
Translation: They’re interested, but don’t hold your breath.
Why Jessica Jones’ Return Matters
Jessica Jones isn’t just another hero. She’s a trauma survivor, a sarcastic genius, and a rare female-led Marvel icon. Her Netflix series tackled heavy themes like PTSD and consent—groundbreaking for superhero TV.
With Daredevil: Born Again leaning into darker, mature storytelling, Jones’ grit would fit like a glove. Imagine her trading barbs with Daredevil or investigating Hell’s Kitchen’s latest disaster. Chef’s kiss.
The Big Question: How to Bring Her Back
Marvel’s options:
- Blink-and-miss cameo: A quick scene setting up her return.
- Full Defenders reunion: Team up with Luke Cage and Iron Fist.
- Solo Disney+ revival: Give Jones her own MCU chapter.
Ritter’s made her stance clear: “There’s an appetite to see her again. We’re cautiously optimistic.”
Final Verdict: Stay Alert, Marvel Fans
While Jessica Jones’ future hangs in the balance, one thing’s certain: Ritter’s ready, her leather jacket’s collecting dust (or not), and fans won’t stop asking.
Daredevil: Born Again and Jessica Jones are streaming on Disney+. Time for a binge—and maybe a prayer to the MCU gods.
