Well, as much as we hate to burst your bubble, it looks like a fan-favorite Defender won’t be involved in Matt Murdock’s standalone series. According to insider KC Walsh, Krysten Ritter, who was heavily rumored to be making her return as Jessica Jones in Daredevil: Born Again has been replaced by another hero.According to Walsh, Jon Bernthal’s Punisher will take Jessica Jone’s role in the series as scheduling conflicts have prevented Ritter from starring in the project. As it stands, nothing official has been made so take this rumor with a grain of salt. But it would be a huge bummer if Jessica Jones doesn’t end up making an appearance on the show.
