It's official: Krysten Ritter is joining the MCU as Jessica Jones in Daredevil: Born Again season 2. The announcement came during Disney's upfronts p🌼resentation with its advertisers 🤪(via ).

Ritter, who played Jessica Jones in three seasons of her own self-titled show along with the team-𒊎up series Defenders, joined the call herself, expressing her excitement at bringing back the fan-favorite character.

"It's so great to be back, returning to Jessica after three seasons and The Defenders and now joining the MCU," Ritter said. "I'm so excited to br🍸ing back this iconic character, and without giving too much away, there is much more i🐎n store for Jessica Jones. This is going to be an incredible season!"

"Much more in store" could mean quite a bit, especially considering that Jon Bernthal's return as Punisher in Daredevil: Born Again has led to Frank Castle getting his own streaming special. With Ritter now returning, thꦉe cast is halfway there to a full-on Defenders reunion, with Mike Colter's Luke Cage and Finn Jones' Danny Rand/Iron 🔥Fist the two Defenders heroes who haven't gotten the official call-up.

That said, a lot of fans felt that the Defenders team-up series an🦩d its surrounding Netflix shows failed to live up to some of the crossover potential of the characters, with a Heroes For Hire partnership never evolving between Iron Fist and Luke Cage, and the latter's romance with Jessica Jones, a key plot point in comics, only being touched on.

With that much room left to fully explore the characters, especially as part of the MCU, there's a ton of potential of what꧒'s to come. And if someone has to fully beg, I will personally make a plea for Mike Colter's Luke Cage in particular to make it to the MCU.

Daredevil: Born Again season two is in production for a March 2026 premiere. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming superhero movies and all 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Marvel movies on the way in 2025 and beyond.
