Once upon a time, Krysten Ritter starred as Jessica Jones in Netflix's live-action adaptation of the superhero character. Even though the show ran for three seasons and had a total of 39 episodes, it was cancelled in 2019.
Ever since then, avid fans have been clamoring for the return of Ritter in Jessica Jones. So when the actress shared a couple of photos of her and Mike Colter, who plays her love interest, Luke Cage, in the show, fans couldn't help but be hopeful. This begs the question, is Ritter and Colter returning to reprise their roles in the MCU? Here's what we know right now.
Is MCU’s Jessica Jones Coming Back?
When asked about the possibility of the show returning, the actors have neither confirmed or denied the news. But the good news is that both stars are open to reprising their roles. But then again, there's the possibility that the roles will be recast. If this happens, Colter is open to support this. In an interview with RadioTimes.com, Colter said:
“I quite like doing other things. I appreciate the opportunity Luke Cage presented to me and it's great, and I'm not saying that the door's closed completely because you never know and never say never. But I'm particularly involved in the projects that I'm doing now, I'm looking forward, never looking back."
"Whatever they do with that role, you know, Kevin Feige and the people at Marvel and Disney, they'll do the right thing and fans will be happy about it and I'll cheer for that person, if it's a recast or whatever. I never think about it until someone asks me about it to be quite honest, but it's not because I didn't enjoy the opportunity. But just, I'm just always in the moment, not really thinking about the other stuff.”
With the return of Matt Murdock/Daredevil (played by Charlie Thomas Cox) in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law last year, it's highly possible that the two will be working together again. Cox's portrayal of the role was well-accepted by the fans that earned him his own Disney+ show, Daredevil: Born Again. The show is scheduled to be released in 2024. If Ritter and Colter are actually filming a show together, it could be this one. That's because both characters appeared beside Daredevil in the The Defenders, which aired on Netflix for one season in 2017.
So for now, nothing official has been announced. But as fans, we're crossing our fingers for their return. While we wait, check out this clip of Cox talking about his experience portraying the blind superhero:
