DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN - Speculation Mounts That Krysten Ritter Will Return As Jessica Jones In Disney+ Series

Krysten Ritter was fantastic as Jessica Jones, even when her series was not. Now, some newly surfaced photos of the actress have left fans wondering whether she's set to return in Daredevil: Born Again.

Pretty much all of Marvel Television's Netflix TV shows declined in quality as time went on, and that was definitely the case with Jessica Jones.

Following a phenomenal first season, the second batch of episodes was a disappointment and the third...well, the less said about that, the better. Still, we really can't find fault with Krysten Ritter's performance as the alcoholic P.I., and rumours have swirled for a while that she may return as Jessica Jones in the MCU. 

Recently, Ritter shared some photos on Instagram of her hitting the gym. The actress appears to be training for an upcoming role, but the fact she's wearing a Daredevil t-shirt has spent speculation into overdrive. 

While by no means confirmation that she'll star in Daredevil: Born Again, we'd argue that these shots lend at least some weight to rumours that Ritter has been enlisted for the Disney+ series. It was originally reported that the actress was eyed for a cameo in Echo, but had to decline due to scheduling issues, with it later said she would join the Man Without Fear in his show.

As that's set to explore street-level superheroes across 18 episodes, it's arguably the best place possible for Ritter to get another chance to play Jessica Jones.

We wouldn't necessarily expect any sort of appearance to lead to another series or movie, but one would be welcomed, and she could quite easily become a recurring presence in any projects that take place on the mean streets of New York City.

Marvel Studios has primarily focused on world-ending threats, so an exploration of the heroes who protect regular people is long overdue. As always, it's best not to get too excited before we get official confirmation.

@ProfessorWhy - I liked her in the role, but honestly I want more Kilgrave with David Tennant.

According to some scoopers, she was about to return but doesn't because of scheduling conflicts. Apparently, they replaced her story line with a new one for The Punisher.

Based on her previous performances I thought she was going to be way better in the role than she was. Although, I admit the thing that irritated me most about her version of the character wasn't her fault: I hated how she acted like JJ even before the incident that made her disillusioned and cynical. All-in-all, she's fine as the character.

@J0HNS0N - Yes! That was my biggest issue as well!

Love JJ 1st season, that was by far my favorite of the Netflix ones. Season 2 and 3 were garbage and that's being kind to them. I lost interest in the character cause of that. I would be interested in Quake from AOS though, bring her in!!!!!

I totally acknowledge the clutch of Jessica Jones as a shows was simply how much enjoyment you got out of watching Krysten work. If you didnt vibe with her character work, the show was gonna be kinda one note.

Or... i mean theres an infinite number of variables why you mighta hated it. Taste is a bitch. It is what it is.

I very much enjoyed her work. Not enough to start S3 once it was announced as canceled, but I would enjoy her returning in some capacity very much.

isn't it already common knowledge that every single defender will have a cameo in this?

bkmeijer1 - 1/8/2023, 8:39 AM
@bman263 - yeah, with 18 episodes I expect a lot of cameos. All the Defenders, but also Elektra, Punisher, Spider-Man and She-Hulk just to name a few

Things like these are so obviously planted specifically to keep us talking. That's how Marvel seems to do things. Guerilla Marketing.

So yeah. This is going to happen.

Krysten Ritter amazing lady.

I hope not. She isn’t a very good actress, and JJ wasn’t a very good show. I’m already worried the new DD show won’t be as good, and possibly adding her to it isn’t easing any of those concerns.

@PatientXero - I could not disagree more. Bad Xero ! Bad !

Nice! I really liked her in the role. Now bring back Kilgrave as well.

But what if that shirt is for Dunkin Donuts promoting "Choose Just Ice (Mocha)" and she's getting shape to film a REALLY brutal commercial where she has to fight Batfleck for the last bear claw? Just sayin' let's not jump to conclusions (at least not without the proper mat anyway).

@StSteven - There you go; asking the really important questions! And, "YES", you have to have the right "jump to conclusion" mat (per Office Space).
StSteven
StSteven - 1/9/2023, 12:05 AM
@LSHF - There you go! Thank God someone gets it!! I mean, how else can you jump to conclusions without the mat? (Though, FWIW I also believe that I need to wear at least 15 pieces of flair daily in my job, although I WFH, but I'll bet that motherf**ker Dave is sitting in his "den" wearing AT LEAST 35 pieces of flair. F**king bastard.

My time to shine said Krysten and Chloe Bennett were back a few months ago. I tend to believe her because her record is pretty clean and she doesn't seem like she does it for press.

One has to wonder what the true purpose of Daredevil Born Again will be. It will be the longest Disney+ series with 18 episodes, It will be the first to touch the TV-MA bracket of storytelling for Marvel Studios, it is bringing back various variants but using the same actors, and Daredevil has now crossed over into both the movies and streaming side of the MCU. My theory is that "The Defenders" will be a Marvel Presentation on Disney+ and be the street level Avengers movie we have been begging for.
