Rumor: Marvel Actor in Line for Disney+ Series

Marvel fans, get ready to potentially see Jessica Jones back in action! Rumors are swirling that Marvel is considering bringing back the character for a new series on Disney+. The speculation comes from entertainment insider Daniel Richtman, who mentioned that Marvel is exploring the idea of either a full-length show or a standalone special for Jessica Jones. Fans of Krysten Ritter will be excited to hear this news, especially after her confirmed appearance in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2.

Previously, reports indicated that Ritter had shot a cameo for Echo, but that plan was scrapped after Marvel rebranded the show as a “Marvel Spotlight” standalone. There was also talk of a cameo for Jessica Jones in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, but it never materialized. The interest in bringing the character back has been steadily increasing since the end of Jessica Jones Season 3, and with her upcoming role in the new season of Born Again.

Marvel Television seems to be focusing on grounded, street-level stories that harken back to its earlier Netflix collaborations. The studio is exploring both multi-season series and standalone “Special Presentations” similar to The Punisher. Richtman suggests that Marvel is currently weighing the decision of whether Jessica Jones’ story is best suited for a full-length series or a shorter project.

When asked about integrating characters like Luke Cage and Iron Fist in Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel Television head Brad Winderbaum emphasized the importance of not rushing and prioritizing telling the best story possible. His comments indicate a thoughtful approach to character crossovers and revivals within the Marvel Universe.

In a related update, Richtman hinted that Marvel is eyeing Bella Ramsey from The Last of Us for a significant role in the MCU. Ramsey was previously rumored to be linked to the role of Kitty Pryde in the upcoming X-Men reboot.

As Marvel continues to develop these projects, fans can expect more details about Jessica Jones’ potential return to be revealed in the future.
