Krysten Ritter’s Instagram story doesn’t necessarily mean Jessica Jones is returning to the MCU. However, if the character were to return, “Daredevil: Born Again” may be the most logical place for her. The timing of the post adds to that theory, as filming has resumed on the upcoming Marvel project. Set photos of “Daredevil: Born Again” have already leaked online, confirming appearances from Karen and Foggy. With Ritter’s post coming out at this moment in time, it’s worth considering that Jessica Jones may wind up an ally in Matt Murdock’s next crusade.

Based on what we know about the show, it would make sense for Daredevil to recruit all the help he could get. Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) will be an antagonist, and the “Echo” post-credits scene sets up his arc running for mayor of New York City. Taking a page from Marvel Comics, Kingpin could easily convince a sizable chunk of New Yorkers that vigilante heroes like Daredevil are the real threats. One would imagine this would cause significant problems for Jessica Jones, who doesn’t even have a mask or codename to hide behind.

Ritter has been open about wanting to reprise her role as the Marvel hero. She told Screen Rant, “I would absolutely just die to play Jessica again. I had the best time doing it and I just love her so much.” Of course, this should be treated as a rumor or theory for the time being until there’s an official confirmation or a set photo of Ritter being filmed with Charlie Cox. But there’s a reason for “Defenders” fans to be optimistic for now.
