Jessica Jones is back.
Krysten Ritter resumes his role of the eye of superhero who has become private, entering the Marvel cinematographic universe by being interpreted in season two of Marvel Television’s Daredevil: born again.
Ritter played the role of Jones in the eponymous Netflix series in the mid -2010s. The series and the actress generated considerable praise and awards at the time and was considered a strong moment at the time of Netflix de Marvel Television.
The casting announcement was made during the Marvel part of the Disney initial presentation to advertisers on Tuesday.
Marvel’s presentation also included a first overview DiesThe series which offers a meta-interpretation of Hollywood and features Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley.
The addition of Ritter, who joined Daredevil Star Charlie Cox on stage for the revelation, is a boost to Again bornWho officially folds characters and actors from the Marvel series of the Netflix era (which was not made by Marvel Studios) in the MCU.
Again born was a solid artist on Disney +, with the final of the season by marking an increase, according to the initiates. The show has also raised the Netflix seasons, which are now also broadcasting exclusively on Disney +.
“People were watching him as a four -season season, not in the first season,” noted Brad Winderbaum, the head of the television and animation of Marvel, speaking to The Hollywood Reporter Before the presentation. The Exec, a Marvel veteran who did not take care of the series in 2021, earlier this year, renewed his contract, a sign of confidence of Marvel in his capacities to direct the television vessel.
Winderbaum noted that the public’s reaction was intense, from discourse to videos to art made to fans. “It gave us the confidence to make the show every year in the future,” he said.
The Exec remained a mother on the question of whether other actors and characters from the Netflix era, including Mike Colter as Luke Cage and Finn Jones like Iron Fist, would appear in the future.
“”It is a question of not rushing and telling the best story “, he deviated.” Yes, it is exciting to think of the characters who interact, but it is on the reasons. Sometimes we did it very well, we rushed. History must lead the path. »»
Season two of Daredevil: born again After the cliffhanger of the first season, in which the Lord of crime Wilson Fisk (Vincent d’Onofrio) violently consolidated power, driving Matt Murdock (COX) to go underground and starting hand to the Allies to resist Fisk and his anti-vigilant working group. Jones will be part of this group of allies.
Marvel was in recalibration mode on the television side, and Daredevil represents this new model. The company made a splashing television start with a series of limited series that presented stars of big names which had appeared, for the most part, in its big budget films. He treated emissions as such, avoiding a traditional television development process, without even doing pilots. He also flooded the area of many titles that have made it difficult to maintain the public. Daredevil was corrected during its production while Marvel adopted a more traditional development model.
This year is the year of transition, with Daredevil Bring the other two New and Marvel shows – Iron heartThe Ryan Coogler series, six episodes that arrives on June 24, and Dieswhich will be eight 30 -minute episodes – representing programs made before the switch. The company will adopt a waiting approach on the question of whether these titles obtain the second seasons.
Marvel now wants to develop and focus on programs that will have “seasons”, making one or two live shows per year and two programs led per year. And they will not present in many cases the actors of the Avengers of the big name.
“Producing programs with marquee names, this made second seasons very difficult; the margins on television are smaller,” said Winderbaum. “Looking towards the future, it means that we will not have big names Avengers? No. They may not be the full character of the series, but they can always make appearances.”
Make shows that stand alone but that always connect to the rest of the Marvel universe remains a difficult act of balancing. Some shows have lost steam because they were too linked, which gives the impression that the homework to look at.
“You should be able to watch these programs by themselves, without knowing the overall history of the MCU,” admitted Winderbaum. “But if it is not connected, it is the separation of what makes the MCU the MCU.”
