We already knew, but Marvel and Netflix have
officially announced the casting of Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones in the
upcoming tv adaptation of the character.
"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.""
According to some sources, The Following's Mike Colter is set to play Luke
Cage but neither studio has yet announced his casting.
