Recap of Krysten Ritter’s Call for Jessica Jones’ Return to the MCU
- Krysten Ritter urges Marvel Studios’ Brad Winderbaum to reinstate Jessica Jones in the MCU.
- The upcoming “Daredevil: Born Again”includes numerous Defenders characters, yet Jessica Jones’s involvement remains uncertain.
- Ritter’s acclaimed performance raises anticipation for her character’s potential comeback, despite no official confirmation.
Krysten Ritter, known for her role as Jessica Jones, has recently posed a compelling question to Brad Winderbaum, an executive at Marvel Studios, regarding the much-anticipated return of her character to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Historically, characters from Netflix’s Marvel productions, including Jessica Jones and Daredevil, were largely overlooked when Marvel transitioned its focus to blockbuster films. The cancellation of these shows prompted fans to hope for a fresh introduction of such iconic characters within the MCU framework. This hope seemed warranted when Marvel Studios announced a revival with “Daredevil: Born Again,”featuring Charlie Cox reprising his role as Daredevil after making brief appearances in projects like Spider-Man: No Way Home and Echo. However, as of today, there remains no official word concerning Ritter’s return as Jessica Jones.
In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Ritter was made aware of remarks from Brad Winderbaum, who conveyed that Jessica Jones is the Defenders character he is most keen to see within the MCU. Surprised but thrilled by this statement, Ritter emphasized her enthusiasm for returning, directly appealing to the Marvel executive for definitive action. “Brad Winderbaum said that? That’s really exciting to hear. Isn’t that the guy who makes the call?” she remarked. “Come on, Brad! Let’s get it going. Let’s do it. I’ll be ready,”she added.
The lineup for “Daredevil: Born Again”boasts a strong cast, including Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, Vincent D’Onofrio as Kingpin, and Jon Bernthal reprising his role as the Punisher. Among these, Jessica Jones stands out as a fan-favorite, raising the question of her absence from official announcements regarding the show’s development. Although Ritter has shared social media posts that fans interpreted as clues for her character’s return, tangible evidence has yet to surface.
The absence of Jessica Jones, played by Ritter, would undoubtedly be a missed opportunity for the MCU, especially considering the critical acclaim garnered by the first season of Jessica Jones. Many fans view her portrayal as iconic, comparing it to performances by Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man and Chris Evans as Captain America. Ritter’s embodiment of the character is frequently regarded as a definitive interpretation in Marvel’s lineup.
There exists a possibility that Ritter has secretly filmed scenes for Jessica Jones that have not been disclosed, particularly given the emergence of rumors suggesting Spider-Man’s involvement in “Daredevil: Born Again.”Nonetheless, fans are advised to temper their expectations; as of now, Ritter’s return remains a hopeful thought rather than a confirmation.
Jessica Jones is currently streaming on Disney Plus, allowing both new audiences and long-time fans to revisit her captivating story.
