Jessica Jones star Krysten Ritter is up for reprising the role in the MCU and says she’d return “in a heartbeat”.
“One hundred percent. I am ready, and I would, of course, be there in a heartbeat,” Ritter toldThe Hollywood Reporterwhen asked if she was open for a return. “She’s a character who I absolutely love, and she was a part of my life for so long. I played that character for five years, and she’s a character who’s very important to me and many women and men.”
“If the opportunity calls, I may or may not have an extra jacket already,” she added, laughing, referring to Jessica Jones' signature leather jacket.
Ritter played the superpowered private investigator for three seasons of Jessica Jones between 2015 and 2019, as well as the 2017 spin-off The Defenders, which saw her team up with Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist.
Marvel recently confirmed that Jessica Jones and Netflix’s other series in theDefenders Sagawereofficially canon in the MCU, so the potential return of Jessica Jones could be on the cards.
