With fans hoping thatDaredevil: Born Againwill feature the return of Jessica Jones, theMarvel Cinematic Universeactress addresses whether or not that is happening. WhileDaredevil: Born Againseason 1is currently airing on Disney+, the next season is already in the makings, as the Marvel series recently began shooting season 2. However, with the MCU franchise re-exploring the beloved street-level hero, many have been hoping that other members of The Defenders will be showing up down the line.
During a recent appearance onCBS Mornings, Ritter was asked about the speculation surrounding Jessica Jones supposedly showing up inDaredevil: Born Againseason 2, with the next season already filming. Without confirming or denying any theories,Ritter stated the following about potentially reprising the MCU hero inDaredevil: Born Againseason 2:
Listen, I love Jessica Jones. I think it’s so exciting that there seems to be such an appetite to see her again. I get asked about it almost everyday. We remain cautiously optimistic. If they asked me, I would be there ready. I may or may not have the jacket that I stole from set.
What Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones Comments Mean For Daredevil: Born Again Season 2
Unless Marvel Studios is keeping a potential cameo from Ritter under wraps in the next couple of episodes,it would make sense thatDaredevil: Born Againseason 1 won’t feature Jessica at all. However, it would make more sense for her to appear in the next season, especially as newDaredevil: Born Againset photoshave strongly hinted that Mayor Fisk’s crusade against vigilantes is going to take a huge step forward in season 2.If vigilantes are a bigger target inDaredevil: Born Againseason 2, it is bound to affect other NYC characterslike Jessica.
While Ritter’s comments can be interpreted in many ways, it would be possible for both her and Marvel Studios to be keeping things a secret as they may be getting ready to announce a return for Jessica in the coming weeks. Given thatDaredevil: Born Againseason 2filming is still early into its run, Jessica could hypothetically be showing up in the back half of the season. That is why saving thatDaredevil: Born Againseason 2 announcement for when Ritter potentially starts filming makes more sense.
Our Take On Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones Comments
Hearing that Ritter is still just as passionate about reprising Jessica as fans are to see her back inDaredevil: Born Againseason 2,it would be a massive waste of Marvel Studios if they didn’t bring her back. It would be even stranger not to feature Jessica again after going through with makingthe Marvel-Netflix showscanon to the overall MCU. Hopefully, there will be more clarity about Ritter’s future in the MCU sooner rather than later, especially if she is eyed to appear inDaredevil: Born Againseason 2.
