Is Jessica Jones Back? Krysten Ritter Drops Major Hint for Daredevil: Born Again

Krysten Ritter sees void for 'Jessica Jones'

Do we now have confirmation that Krysten Ritter will return as Jessica Jones for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again? Not exactly, but the actress has dropped what might be her biggest hint yet that she is set to reprise her roles as the Man Without Fear’s fellow Defender.

Though we had been led to believe that Netflix’s Marvel shows were no longer considered canon when Marvel Studios announced brand-new MCU content would be developed for the Disney+ streaming service, things clearly changed after Matt Murdock’s (Charlie Cox) brief cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) later returned for a memorable role in the Echo series, and Daredevil: Born Again has essentially served as a fourth season of Netflix’s original DD show.

It also sounds as if there could be plans in place for the rest of the Defenders.

While speaking to EWin a recent interview, Marvel’s head of streaming, television, and animation Brad Winderbaum hinted that it may only be a matter of time before we see Ritter’s Jessica Jones, Mike Colter’s Luke Cage, and Finn Jones’ Iron Fist/Danny Rand in the MCU.

“I can’t say much, but I’ll tell you that it’s so exciting to be able to play in that sandbox. Obviously, we don’t have the unlimited storytelling resources like a comic book. If you can draw it, you can do it. It’s dealing with actors and time and the massive scale of production in order to build a cinematic universe, especially on television. But I can just say that all those variables taken into account, it is certainly something that is creatively extremely exciting and that we are very much exploring.”

A rumor that “at least one” more Defender will appear in the already in-production second season of Born Again followed, and fans are now more convinced than ever that it will be Ritter’s hard-drinking PI.

In Marvel Television’s Daredevil: Born Again, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer with heightened abilities is fighting for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) pursues his own political endeavors in New York. When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course.

The show also stars Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, with Ayelet Zurer and Jon Bernthal. Dario Scardapane is on board as showrunner.

Episodes are directed by Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead, Michael Cuesta, Jeffrey Nachmanoff, and David Boyd; and executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Sana Amanat, Chris Gary, Dario Scardapane, Christopher Ord & Matthew Corman, and Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead.
