“Brad Winderbaum said that? That’s really exciting to hear. Isn’t that the guy who makes the call?” she told ComicBook during an interview for Sonic the Hedgehog 3. “Come on, Brad! Let’s get it going. Let’s do it. I’ll be ready.”

Jessica Jones was a series created by Melissa Rosenberg that ran for three seasons on Netflix and was set within the Marcel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The series follows Ritter as the titled character, an ex-superhero who opens her detective agency. Jessica Jones was part of a larger storyline that led to the limited series The Defenders, which included characters like Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron First.

After the launch of Disney+, Marvel ended its association with Netflix and stopped developing further seasons for these properties. However, the Defenders are getting a new life and returning to the MCU with Daredevil: Born Again. The series is expected to premiere in 2025 on Disney+, with Charlie Cox reprising his Matt Murdock / Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio reprising his Wilson Fisk / Kingpin role.

Cox had previously reprised his role in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home and the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
