Along with DAREDEVIL, Marvel planned an impressive 4 show rollout also including JESSICA JONES, IRON FIST, and LUKE CAGE which will culminate in THE DEFENDERS mini-series. With DAREDEVIL on the way in January, Marvel has now cast its first role in the next series to come, JESSICA JONES!
Actress Krysten Ritter will reportedly star as Julia aka Jessica Jones, “a superhero suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder that leads to her hanging up her costume and open up her own detective agency, where she ends up helping people and assisting other super heroes.” Jones is known for her wit and charisma, along with a bit of a devilish streak.
TWILIGHT screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg is overseeing the series.
