RUMOR: Marvel Television's JESSICA JONES Revival Could Be A TV Series Or PUNISHER-Style Special Presentation

Ahead of Krysten Ritter's return as Jessica Jones in Daredevil: Born Again season 2, it sounds like Marvel Television is mulling over whether to give the character her own series of Special Presentation.

There's been chatter about Jessica Jones star Krysten Ritter making her official MCU debut for at least the last three or four years. However, it wasn't until this past May that she was confirmed to reprise her most iconic role in season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Echo once seemed likely possibilities for a Jessica Jones cameo, and it was widely reported that Ritter came close to shooting a cameo for the latter. Unfortunately, that was scrapped when it became a standalone "Marvel Spotlight" series, branding that Marvel Studios has since seemingly moved on from. 

Regardless, after the largely disappointing second and third seasons of Jessica Jones, fans are excited to see Ritter get another chance courtesy of Marvel Studios. However, there may be much more to her MCU future than a supporting turn in Daredevil: Born Again.

We recently shared a rumour about possible plans for a Jessica Jones revival series, but Daniel Richtman has now shared an update. He claims, "Marvel is discussing doing Jessica Jones as either a [TV] show or a special of her own."

With Marvel Television focusing on multi-season series, we'd imagine the studio is trying to figure out whether they have enough story for a few years of television or whether, like The Punisher, a standalone Special Presentation will be better suited to the P.I.

We'd say the latter is probably the better option. Still, at the same time, it could be fun for a heightened version of Jessica Jones to return, with the hero perhaps helping out various street-level superheroes and even the odd Avenger. 

This comes after Richtman also claimed that Marvel Television plans to focus on street-level, grounded stories similar to Netflix. Big events will be saved for movies, as will the characters typically associated with the Avengers franchise. 

By heading down that route, it creates a clearer line between what people can find in theaters and on streaming. After all, why buy a ticket to a movie like Thunderbolts* when so many of its characters can be found on Disney+? (those introduced there, meanwhile, likely passed many casual fans by)

On an unrelated note, Richtman is also reporting that The Last of Us star Bella Ramsey is indeed being eyed for a big MCU role. This comes after they were rumoured to be in contention for the X-Men reboot's Kitty Pryde

Asked whether Mike Colter's Luke Cage and Finn Jones' Iron Fist could also appear in Daredevil: Born Again season 2, Marvel Television boss Brad Winderbaum has said, "It’s about not rushing and telling the best story. Yes, it’s exciting to think about characters interacting, but it’s about the reasons why. At times we’ve done that very well, at times we’ve rushed. The story has to lead the path."

Stay tuned for updates on Jessica Jones as we have them. For now, you can see Ritter on the set of Daredevil: Born Again here

I still think the first season of Jessica Jones was the best - even better than Daredevil season 1. It went pretty much downhill from there on, and Daredevil is still superior overall. BUT I would love to have her come back in a solo series!

@Unites - I agree with everything except for the season one ratings. It was close, but I still give the Edge to old Hornhead. Season two of JJ was a slug that I had to force myself to get through to watch season three which was somewhat better. It’s just like I said for a number of years about Henry Cavill. Give Kristen Ritter a good script and a good director and it could be an awesome show.

@Unites - that first season is definitely up there with best Netflix Marvel stuff. Same with the first 7 episodes of Luke Cage

Think a special presentation is the perfect banner to publish this under. Or maybe even as a spotlight. Don't think that's used since Echo or will be anytime soon either.

@bkmeijer1 - I'd go special at first for sure, although being a P.I. gives a lot of story of the week potential I don't know how they could consider that until the dust settles after Secret Wars and an episodic investigator type show I feel they'd need time to consider what type of things she'd take on and compile at least 6 realy strong stories to go with which will take time too (as probably would need to come up with a couple dozen potential stories and whittle them down to the best options).

@bkmeijer1 - Wonder Man is a spotlight series

No doubt, like Daredevil, there will be zero interest in whether or not this character was impacted by movie-scale events. Did she blip? If she returned, did she just accept it like one of her many blackouts because she is a snarky-snark alcoholic with a heart of gold?

@Lysander45 - It has been at least 6yrs since she would have returned if blipped, after her past moving on from that would be relatively small potatoes so unless a narrative reason why should it matter?

Compared to being mind controlled for years doing bad things, causing deaths against her will and raped effectively going to sleep for a few years is a bit of a nothing burger. It would take time to readjust and rebuild your life upon return, sure, as jobs/business/home/money gone but half the world was dealing with that and don't NEED to know all the messy stuff for half the population of a fictional universe unless/until that story is worth telling/entertaining.

As to DD and Fisk however, there is ZERO ambiguity, we know they were not blipped as we saw them during the blip in pre-Hawkeye show flashbacks on Echo's series.

@AllsNotGood - I liked the 1st season. Tbh IMO all 1st seasons are good, except Iron Fist's which was weak from the start.

@AllsNotGood - First season yes, 2nd is horrible, and the 3rd is below average with a good ending

JJ is a boring character, all she does is sulk. Unless she’s gonna start flying and using her powers more frequently, I’m personally not interested. Not if it’s gonna be like DD Born Again, where it’s essentially a drama with some super power use sprinkled in throughout the series.

When I tune in to superheroe shows, it’s to see them being superheroes or using their powers or something fantastical. Not watch JJ depressed and getting drunk.

I’d much rather a Hero’s for Hire with Luke and Danny

With so many characters at their disposal, why focus on such a mediocre character like JJ.. so very lame

@MuadDib - "Not if it’s gonna be like DD Born Again, where it’s essentially a drama with some super power use sprinkled in throughout the series." Isn't that basically what the netflix show was?

@WalletsClosed - Netflix had slightly more action and slightly less drama, but it was close.

I’m hoping DD S2 is better, we don’t need a JJ revival, unless they are bringing back Purple Man

Does Marvel think the Netflix characters are the only street level characters that exist or that fans want to see? I just don’t understand how with such a sizable selection of characters they don’t branch out more. I get that the higher ups have decided to lean into already established characters, but without fresh blood every once in a while things are bound to get stale.

@MuadDib - That's exactly what it is. All these new characters have failed because of Disney's atrocious handling so they're probably more hesitant to bring in new characters now. Ironheart and Wonder Man are probably going to be the last couple. The rest will focus on pre established characters.

"This character could get a tv show, special or movie"

see? I can be a scooper too, because.... well, there is NO actual SCOOP, lol.

Have her use her powers more, make it a special presentation so it's not dragged out with 13 episodes like her previous show, and have her be more of an actual hero this time

Give us great characters on screen like JJ & Punisher.

Instead of junk characters like Ironheart/Wiccan/Agatha/Wonder Man/etc.

They really need a TV universe if they're just gonna continue on and on with all of this. Allow the real MCU the space to reboot.

@ObserverIO - If rebooting....is even a goal for the MCU.
