As a longtime Marvel fan and a connoisseur of gritty, street-level storytelling, I can’t help but feel like a kid at Christmas with the upcoming “Daredevil: Born Again.” Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson – it’s like a Marvel reunion for the ages! But there’s one glaring omission that has me scratching my head – Jessica Jones, played by the brilliant Krysten Ritter.
Charlie Cox has officially kicked the hype train into high gear for the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again, and I couldn’t be more excited. In a recent update, Cox emphasized that the revival isn’t holding back when it comes to the darker, grittier tone—something that made the first series such a standout among superhero shows. But, while I’m stoked for the upcoming Marvel TV series and seeing Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio (who’s returning as Kingpin) back to reclaim their Hell’s Kitchen throne, one glaring question remains: Where is Jessica Jones star Krysten Ritter?
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Cox’s latest remarks spark optimism among fans about how the upcoming series “Born Again” will revive the gritty, street-level narrative that made the Defenders saga in the Netflix era so endearing, as suggested by his statements.
The thing that we kept talking about was, this show has had the success that it’s had and has appealed to a very specific demographic because it’s one of the few superhero shows that is so dark and sinister at times… Vincent and I both felt like if you lose that, you are at risk of losing the identity of our show. So we really pushed for the show to remain geared towards an older audience and not dumbed down to kind of capture a wider net of people. I think in some ways it’s even darker than a lot of the stuff we’ve done in the past.
Among Daredevil, Kingpin, and The Punisher, portrayed by Jon Bernthal, we see a reunion. Notably, Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) are also set to return. Given the familiar cast, it’s quite striking that Jessica Jones seems conspicuously missing from this lineup.
Krysten Ritter’s compelling portrayal of the troubled private investigator, who struggles with alcoholism and has a dark past, took the series Jessica Jones to new heights, earning it recognition as one of Marvel’s most praised shows by critics. The program tackled complex issues head-on, showing a level of realism seldom seen in superhero television. In summary, Ritter, who was previously on Breaking Bad, gave an authentic performance that resonated strongly with viewers.
Actress Isla Fisher, who played the role of Becky Bloomwood in “Confessions of a Shopaholic,” has expressed her readiness and enthusiasm to reprise her character Jessica. During an interview with ComicBook.com, she couldn’t contain her excitement upon hearing that Marvel Studios’ Brad Winderbaum mentioned Jessica Jones as a Defender he’d like to see come back. In response to this news, Fisher stated her eagerness about the prospect.
It’s thrilling news! Is that not the man responsible for making the call? C’mon, Brad! Let’s dive right in. Let’s proceed. I’m all set.
It seems as though the call hasn’t arrived yet, but given that Born Again is heavily influenced by Netflix-era elements such as characters, tone, and its gritty essence, it appears to be an opportune moment to reintegrate Jessica Jones into the storyline. The prior history shared between Matt Murdock and Jessica Jones from their days in Marvel’s The Defenders lends itself well to a reunion of these street-level heroes, adding additional emotional depth and narrative significance to Born Again.

In my opinion, while Daredevil is often associated with Marvel’s grittier, street-level tales, Jessica Jones truly embodied its soul. It seems logical that her comeback would be a sensible progression for the MCU, particularly as they aim to reacquaint mainstream viewers with their roster of street-level heroes. With Krysten Ritter expressing interest and fan anticipation at an all-time peak, it’s puzzling why Marvel Studios haven’t made the necessary arrangements yet.
Currently, I’m delighted that Cox and D’Onofrio worked diligently to maintain the raw essence of “Born Again” – it’s exactly what’s necessary to keep Hell’s Kitchen vibrant. However, Marvel, be aware: the ex-actress from “Orphan Black: Echoes” is eager, the MCU craves a revival, so make the decision already and bring back Jessica Jones.
In a thrilling turn, “Daredevil: Born Again” premieres on Disney+ on March 4, 2025. Meanwhile, keep an eye out for Krysten Ritter’s upcoming venture in “Sonic the Hedgehog 3,” hitting cinemas on December 20, 2024. Fingers crossed, we get some updates about Jessica Jones from Marvel sooner, rather than later!
For now, Ritter’s MCU tenure can be streamed using a Disney+ subscription.
