Marvel Casts Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones!

Heads up! Deadline has reported Marvel Studios have casted Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, the titular character to one of their upcoming Netflix-exclusive series.

From Deadline:

Spearheaded by Melissa Rosenberg, the 13-episode drama — the second in a four-series Netflix-Marvel deal — centers on Jessica Jones, a superhero suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, which leads to her hanging up her costume and opening her own detective agency, where she ends up helping people and assisting other superheroes.

After the beloved Don’t Trust The B—- in Apt. 23 as well as an NBC sitcom (set in space!) she was to star was cancelled before it even aired, Krysten Ritter finally has the break her fans believe she deserves. I can’t wait to see her as Jessica Jones!

Additionally, Deadline has reported that Mike Colter (from The Following) is in the lead to play Luke Cage, also the titular character of a Netflix-exclusive series from Marvel.

Great news. My excitement for these Marvel shows just went into overdrive.
