After months of rumors and speculation, we recently got confirmation that Krysten Ritter will return as Jessica Jones for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again.
We're not sure if Ritter has actually begun filming her scenes just yet, but she has now taken to social media to share a BTS look at her "superhero training" alongside co-star Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock) and fitness trainer Naqam Washington.
"It's so great to be back, returning to Jessica after three seasons and The Defenders and now joining the MCU," Ritter said when her return was made official. "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!"
Following the events of the season 1 finale, we do have a pretty good idea why Jones will make her presence felt.
After Mayor Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) declares martial law with the help of his anti-vigilante task force, the Man Without Fear decides to fight back by assembling a team of his own. The line-up was lacking a bit of muscle, which Ritter hard-drinking PI will be able to provide in spades.
It remains to be seen if fellow super-powered New Yorkers Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and/or Danny Rand (Finn Jones) will also make their returns, but we don't anticipate a full Defenders reunion - not this season, at least.
