The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is expanding, and with all the upcoming projects lined up, fans are excited about the possibility of seeing characters from Netflix’s Marvel series join the ever-growing franchise. One actor who’s hoping to make the jump is Krysten Ritter, best known for her role as Jessica Jones. While other characters like Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio), and The Punisher (Jon Bernthal) have already made their way into the MCU, Jessica Jones has yet to be officially confirmed.
Krysten Ritter recently responded to comments from Marvel’s head of streaming, Brad Winderbaum, who expressed hopes to see Jessica Jones join the MCU. Ritter’s reaction was enthusiastic: “That’s really exciting to hear. Isn’t that the guy who makes the call? Come on, Brad! Let’s get it going. Let’s do it. I’ll be ready.” This response has sparked excitement among fans, as Jessica Jones is one of the most beloved characters from the Netflix Marvel shows, having starred in three seasons of her own series, which was created by Melissa Rosenberg. The show follows the story of a former superhero turned private investigator, and Ritter’s portrayal of the character was widely praised, making her return to the role feel like a natural fit for the MCU.
Although Jessica Jones has strong ties to characters like Daredevil, it’s unclear where she might appear in the MCU. The most likely scenario would be her appearance in Daredevil: Born Again, a Disney Plus series slated to release in 2025. However, there has been no confirmation that Jessica will be included in the first season, so any potential cameo could be kept as a surprise, much like Daredevil’s unexpected appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
As we wait for more details, Daredevil: Born Again remains one of the most highly anticipated Marvel series. The show will kick off on Disney Plus on March 4, 2025, with the first season featuring nine episodes. Will Jessica Jones make a surprise appearance? Fans will have to tune in to find out.
