JESSICA JONES Star Krysten Ritter Talks Possible MCU Return: "I Would Be There In A Second"

Defenders star Krysten Ritter has addressed her possible MCU return, making it clear that, while she's open to playing Jessica Jones again, she's yet to hear from Marvel Studios about making it happen.

Jessica Jones star Krysten Ritter has long been rumoured for some sort of MCU return, with the prevailing opinion online being that we'll see the actress in both Echo and Daredevil: Born Again.

The latter is probably the likelier of the two upcoming Disney+ TV shows, but after the disappointing second and third seasons of her solo series, we'd love the actress to get another chance courtesy of Marvel Studios. The majority of fans want it to happen as well, and if we're eventually getting a new Luke Cage (Mike Colter doesn't seem overly interested in returning), then Jessica being part of his life is a must. 

Talking to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 star Michael Rosenbaum on his podcast, Ritter made it clear that she's definitely open to joining the MCU.

"I have no idea; I hope so! I think that people love Jessica; I know because I live it," she responded when asked if Jessica has a future on our screens. "Marvel is so secretive - I am just putting that out there that, of course, I would be there in a second. I would have my boots and jacket ready to rock."

If the actress is coming back, then she's obviously not going to spill the beans here. 

Taking Ritter at her word, though, and it appears she's still waiting to get that call from Marvel Studios. It would be a shame for her to be overlooked when both Charlie Cox and Jon Bernthal are returning as their respective Defenders, though we can't discount the possibility the MCU has other plans for the P.I.

We'll have to wait and see, but if a return is on the cards, we're guessing it will be kept as secretive as Cox's Daredevil cameo in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law

@DCasAhobby - no, because Chloe Bennett is gorgeous. you'd be dumb not to want to see her... and i actually think she got better in the last 3 seasons of AoS

@DCasAhobby - I'll just join the chorus and say, yeah, Chloe, but really most of the core AoS cast would be a most welcome return. I'll hold out hope that some or all will turn up in Secret Invasion, but not much, you know?

@Smoothcat - ahhhh shut that 💩 up, it’s about time they got a woman to play Jessica Jones, Eliza, Wood did a pretty good job on Netflix, but I think it should have been Krysten Ritter, and I’m glad it finally will be. At least daredevil, Luke, Cage, and iron fist are women. No complaints there. And I’m one of the conservatives on this site! This ain’t a MSheU move, it’s an awesome move.

Good. Because I love her portrayal of JJ. With better quality writing from Marvel Studios, this would be a welcomed return!

@Lokiwasright - First season was great.

If they brought back Black Bolt from that travesty of a show Inhumans then i can't see why they wouldnt bring her back

She is really good and recognisable as Jessica so absolutely.

I thought she was great in the role. S2-3 make it easy for people to forget how fantastic that first season of Jessica Jones was. Bring back Tennant’s Purple Man while you’re at it.

Of course she would. She doesn't get hired anymore.

She’d be a great addition to the MCU, providing she’s allowed to be great Jessica we saw on Netflix and not some wimpy PC version.

@Spike101 - Curious, what was politically incorrect about her portrayal on Netflix?
Spike101
Spike101 - 4/25/2023, 4:59 PM
@ClintThaHamster - absolutely nothing, that’s my point 😊

@Spike101 - I asked what was politically INCORRECT about her portrayal. Sure, she played a surly drunk, but she wasn't, like, openly racist, or making homophobic jokes.

She would be great in the MCU. It would also give the MCU another chick for Majors to slap down.

Pass. JJ was the weakest of the Netflix/Marvel shows, hands down. Don't know why people simp for Ritter so hard.

Pass, we already have a better replacement.
