Krysten Ritter It will repeat its role of the superheroin turned into a private detective Jessica Jones in the Marvel cinematographic universe When chosen for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again by Marvel Television.
Ritter played Jones in the homonymous series of Netflix in the mid -2010s. The series and the actress generated considerable praise and awards at that time and are considered a climax during the Netflix era of Marvel television.
The casting announcement was made during Marvel’s part of Disney’s preliminary presentation to advertisers on Tuesday.
The incorporation of Ritter, who joined Daredevil’s star, Charlie Coxon the stage for revelation, it is an impulse for Born Again, which officially incorporates characters and actors from the Marvel series of the Netflix era (which were not made by Marvel Studios) to the UCM.
Born Again has had excellent performance in Disney+with the end of the season going up from audience, according to internal sources. The series has also promoted the seasons of Netflixwhich are also transmitted exclusively in Disney+.
“People saw her as a fourth season, not as a first one,” said Brad Winderbaum, Marvel television director and animation, in statements to The Hollywood Reporter portal before the presentation.
Winderbaum said the public’s reaction has been intense, from speech to videos and art created by fans. “He has given us the confidence to continue offering the exhibition annually in the future,” he said.
The executive remained silent about whether other actors and characters from the Netflix era, especially Mike Colter like Luke Cage and Finn Jones As Iron Fist, they would appear in the future.
“It’s about not hurrying and telling the best story,” he evaded the subject. “Yes, it is exciting to think about the interaction of the characters, but it is the reasons. Sometimes we have done very well, sometimes we have rushed. History has to mark the way.”
The second season of Daredevil: Born Again will resume the plot after the end of the first, in which the Wilson Fisk capo (Vincent d’Onofrio) Violently consolidated his power, which led Matt Murdock (Cox) to go to hiding and seek allies to resist Fisk and his unijustic work group. Jones will be part of that group of allies.
Marvel and his television series
Marvel has been emphasizing its television strategy, and Daredevil represents that new model. The company had a spectacular television debut with a series of miniseries starring renowned stars that had mainly appeared in its large -budget blockbusters. He treated the series as such, avoiding the traditional process of television development and not even producing pilots. In addition, he flooded the sector with numerous titles that hindered that the public could keep up with them. Daredevil changed course during its production, since Marvel adopted a more traditional development model.
This year is the year of transition, with Daredevil presenting the new series and the other two of Marvel: Ironheartthe series of six episodes produced by Ryan Coogler that opens on June 24, and Wonder Manwhich will consist of eight 30 -minute episodes, which represent series created before the change. The company will adopt a waiting strategy to see if these series will have second seasons.
Marvel now wants to develop and focus on series with “seasons”, with one or two real action series and two animated series a year. And, in many cases, they will not have the most famous actors of the Avengers.
“Producing series with famous names made it very difficult to produce second seasons; the margins of gain on television are minor,” said Winderbaum. “Facing the future, does this mean that we will not have great names of the Avengers? No. It may not be the main character of the series, but they can still appear.”
“You should be able to see these series separately, without knowing the complete history of the UCM,” Winderbaum admitted. “But if it is not connected, it breaks with what makes the UCM what it is.”
