Marvel and Netflix are proud to announce that Krysten Ritter will star in "Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones," an all-new 13-episode series premiering on Netflix in 2015 following "Marvel's Daredevil."

Krysten Ritter to star in Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones for Netflix.

Ritter will play Jessica Jones, first introduced in writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Gaydos' classic ALIAS comic series. After a tragic ending to her short-lived Super Hero stint, Jones is rebuilding her personal life and career as a detective who gets pulled into cases involving people with extraordinary abilities in New York City.

"Krysten brings both the hard edge and the vulnerability the role demands," said Executive Producer/Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg. "We can't wait for fans to see her in action, coming to Netflix in 2015."

"Krysten Ritter has the type of range, spanning the comic to the tragic, that makes for the stuff of the best Marvel heroes," said Jeph Loeb, Executive Producer/Marvel's Head of Television. "As Jessica Jones, Krysten will bring one of the most beloved new characters of the past decade to life in a way we know will delight her longtime fans and introduce her to many more."

Best known for her roles in "Breaking Bad," "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23," and "Veronica Mars," she will next star alongside Amy Adams, Christoph Waltz, and Jason Schwartzman in Director Tim Burton's "Big Eyes" this Holiday season.

"Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones" is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix.

  3. I was pulling for Alexandra Daddario but I'm willing to give Krysten a chance. She was pretty awesome in Breaking Bad.

  9. I was absolutely happy with each actress in the running, but Ritter's the most "fuck yeah!!"-worthy for me.

    Woohoo! I felt like things were too quiet on the Marvel front.
    Now for Iron Fist...who do we want?

  11. She's a good actress, and I'm excited to see where they take Jessica Jones, but she wasn't my first choice.

    Well, we'll see what happens!

  12. People happy about the news let me remind you of the news of Benedict Cumberbatch getting the role of Doctor Strange that was two months ago and we are still waiting on confirmation from Marvel.

  13. I've said this a lot in the past few weeks, but this is definitely the news I've heard in a long time. One of my favourite actresses, and she's deserved a lead role worthy of her talent for quite some time.

  14. Worst. Casting. Choice. Ever! This makes me sick and I am crying that they teased Alexandra Daddario as a possibility :'(

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yay! I was hoped she'd get it!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Interesting choice, I like her, but I still go with Alexandra Daddario.

    ReplyDelete
  17. And the trend of casting thin-as-rails women as super heroes continues. Can't wait to see her battle her greatest enemy yet: the scale!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Would have liked many others much more for the role, but ok.

    ReplyDelete
  19. yeah i was hoping Teresa Palmer got it

    ReplyDelete
  20. I quite like her so I'm rather stoked!
    (Also YAY Mike Colter!!!)

    ReplyDelete
  21. Why is "A.K.A" in the title? What's the reasoning behind it? Does it stand for Also Known As or something else? Anyone know?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Jessica Jones goes by many alias, so I think the A.K.A is probably just referring to her real identity, I think. I'm quite sure it stands for Also Know As :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh, okay! Thanks! :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. love KR and will be looking forward to seeing what she can bring to this role...

    ReplyDelete
  25. The plot sounds interesting, but will it be connected to the marvel universe?

    ReplyDelete
  26. I was hoping for Teresa (#1) or Alexandra (#2)... will see though. Wonder who they'll get as Luke Cage?

    ReplyDelete
  27. #It'sAllConnected
    Sorry had to. :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. I don't get the appeal. I found her really annoying in both Breaking Bad and Don't trust the B....

    ReplyDelete
  29. I've never really liked her, so unless it get's raving reviews I'll skip it.
