Actress Krysten Ritter has starred in some pretty great projects over the years, from Breaking Bad to Love and Death, and most recently, Orphan Black: Echoes.
But her most prominent role was arguably as Marvel’s Jessica Jones in the Netflix series of the same name. The actress also played Jones in the series The Defenders, and she hopes those two series weren’t the end of her run.
After her Defenders co-star Charlie Cox was given his new MCU series, Daredevil: Born Again, chances seem as good as ever, especially since the show’s direction was rerouted mid-production.
Marvel Studios, after reviewing early footage, opted to pivot in several ways, while also resuming some of the storylines and continuity of the universe that Marvel Television originally produced for Netflix.
Marvel Studios streaming head Brad Winderbaum has since confirmed to THR that all of the former Netflix shows are now considered MCU canon, including Jessica Jones, which currently resides on Disney+ along with its sister shows.
Ritter said of the idea of returning to the role:
“I am ready and I would, of course, be there in a heartbeat. She’s a character who I absolutely love, and she was a part of my life for so long. So if the opportunity calls, I may or may not have an extra jacket already. Fingers crossed, you never know. But that would be exciting, of course.”
I wouldn’t mind seeing Ritter back as Jessica Jones in the MCU. What do you think?
