AKA Jessica Jones Official Thread

[543Y2J]

Two weeks ago we learned about the actresses testing for the role of Jessica Jones in Marvel’s upcoming Netflix series and today Deadline brings word that “Breaking Bad” and “Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23″ actress Krysten Ritter has been cast in the role! The outlet also reveals that Halo: Nightfall‘s Mike Colter is the top choice for the role of her husband, Luke Cage, who will appear in seven of the planned thirteen “Jessica Jones” episodes.

“Dexter” and Twilight scribe Melissa Rosenberg is set to executive produce the “Jessica Jones” series, which focuses on retired superhero Jessica Jones hanging up her tights and opening her own detective agency. Rosenberg is no stranger to female superhero shows either, having worked on the short-lived “Birds of Prey” series on The WB.

“Jessica Jones” is the second of five Netflix shows Marvel will roll out starting next year with “Marvel’s Daredevil.” Following the two will be both “Luke Cage” and “Iron Fist,” with all four leading into a “Defenders” mini-series.

Mike Colter Reportedly Cast As Luke Cage

Marvel has apparently cast Mike Colter to play Luke Cage in its forthcoming Jessica Jones series as well as the Luke Cage standalone series that follows it, Indiewire reports.

In the comics, Cage is a young hood who is in and out of juvenile homes until he is sent to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Agreeing to volunteer for an experiment in exchange for a sentence reduction, Cage gains superhuman strength and nearly impervious skin. Escaping from prison, Cage clears his name and uses his newfound abilities to help others and become a hero.

Cage will first appear in 6 or 7 episodes of Jessica Jones prior to the Luke Cage standalone series.

Colter will also star in the upcoming Xbox Originals series, Halo: Nightfall, a live-action adaptation based on the gaming console's popular Halo videogame franchise.

The two of them will eventually become a couple, have a baby, need a babysitter...BOOM! Squirrel Girl in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

I'll be disappointed if Luke Cage isn't wearing his tiara and blouse.

Do the thing of the hero tries on and rejects a handful of costumes before landing on the look he's going to stick with. Have tiara and blouse be the one right before he just goes with the yellow t-shirt.

[Rolent Tex]

Dammit. I was hoping for Zeb Colter as Luke Cage. I was going to give Marvel ALL the money!

Is Jessica Jones a giant obnoxious douche? Because that's the only role Ritter ever seems to play.

[Savage Gambino]

Bumping this, and requesting the title be changed to "Marvel's A.K.A Jessica Jones Thread".

New synopsis revealed, via Amazon:

Ever since her short-lived stint as a Super Hero ended in tragedy, Jessica Jones has been rebuilding her personal life and career as a hot-tempered, sardonic, badass private detective in Hell's Kitchen, New York City. Plagued by self-loathing, and a wicked case of PTSD, Jessica battles demons from within and without, using her extraordinary abilities as an unlikely champion for those in need... especially if they're willing to cut her a check.

And the Netflix synopsis:

Working as a private investigator in New York's Hell's Kitchen, a troubled ex-superhero's past comes back to haunt her in the live-action series, "Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones."

Starring: Krysten Ritter, David Tennant, Rachael Taylor

Judging from the timetable of Daredevil, I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say around October/November.

Request Denied!

It's the AKA Jessica Jones Official thread.

Wonder how dark they'll actually take the Purple Man stuff and how much they'll show in a flashback.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

right now I'm watching Doctor Who and I'm in the David Tennant seasons. it's going to be weird watching the fun and whimsical Doctor playing probably the single nastiest piece of work in the Marvel universe.

Technically, it's the "AKA Jessic Jones Official Thread".

Wonder how dark they'll actually take the Purple Man stuff and how much they'll show in a flashback.

If Daredevil is anything to go on, I imagine it'll be pretty f***ing dark.

I feel the same way about her, but every time I've been skeptical of casting in the MCU they've proven me wrong. I hope this continues that trend and makes me like her.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

Now, I haven't read comics for years but has Jessica Jones suddenly become a major character?

Because when I stopped reading her only character trait was been Mrs Luke Cage.
