JESSICA JONES Revival: Marvel Reportedly Weighing TV Series or Special Presentation Format — GeekTyrant
Krysten Ritter's return as Jessica Jones is officially on the books with Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, but it might not stop there. According to insider Daniel Richtman, Marvel Television is actively considering bringing the hard-drinking private investigator back in her own project either as a full-blown TV series or a Special Presentation, similar to what they did with Werewolf by Night and The Punisher . Richtman shared, "Marvel is discussing doing Jessica Jones as either a [TV] show or a special of her own." This update comes after years of speculation and close calls. Jessica was rumored to appear in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and even came close to a cameo in Echo , but that was reportedly scrapped when Echo pivoted into its standalone 'Marvel Spotlight' branding, an experiment Marvel Studios seems to have left behind. While the second and third seasons of the original Jessica Jones Netflix series didn't quite land the same way the first did, fans are ready to see Ritter take another shot at the role, especially with Marvel now leaning into grounded, street-level stories. Recent reports suggest the studio wants to clearly separate its small-screen stories from its cinematic universe, leaving the big Avengers-style crossovers for theaters and keeping streaming focused on street-level drama. This approach makes sense. Why crowd the MCU series with cosmic stakes when characters like Jessica Jones are at their best in alleys and courtrooms, not space battles? Whether it's a miniseries or a 45-minute noir-inspired one-off, there's a lot of potential here. Marvel TV boss Brad Winderbaum recently emphasized the importance of pacing and story-first decisions when asked about bringing back other Defenders characters like Luke Cage or Iron Fist: 'It's about not rushing and telling the best story. Yes, it's exciting to think about characters interacting, but it's about the reasons why. At times we've done that very well, at times we've rushed. The story has to lead the path.' This could hint that Marvel isn't rushing to throw every Netflix alum into Born Again , but they're definitely thinking about it. And if Jessica Jones clicks again with fans, a solo return makes perfect sense.

Ironheart Head Writer Shares the Sweet, Real-Life Inspiration for Landon, the Kid With the Wagon
Marvel Television's Ironheart opened with a sequence that resulted in 'bad girl genius' Riri Williams' (Dominique Thorne) expulsion from MIT. As she flew home to Chicago — in her self-made supersuit — the school-assigned AI assistant glitched out, leading to a very bumpy landing. Helping Riri complete the final blocks of her trip home, by lugging the pieces of her busted suit in his wagon — in trade for an Andrew Jackson, mind you — was a local youth named Landon, played by Harper Anthony. Landon would resurface later in the six-episode season, as part of the team of friends and family that helps Riri re-re-rebuild her suit, in time for a pivotal face-off with The Hood.

When I hopped on my recent Zoom with Ironheart head writer Chinaka Hodge and fellow EP Ryan Coogler, I couldn't help but first acknowledge the series' young cast. Led by Thorne but also featuring great work by Lyric Ross (as N.A.T.A.L.I.E.) and scene stealer Regan Aliyha (as Zelma), the cast, I noted, was 'dynamite — down to the kid with the wagon!' Both Hodge and Coogler replied to my kudos with appreciative clapping, after which the former elaborated on the series' youngest character. 'Thank you for bringing up 'the kid with the wagon,'' she said. 'That's the one character that doesn't exist in publishing, and is the one character that came from my mind. And I love Landon the character and Harper the actor infinitely.' Hodge went on to explain Landon's origin. 'I stared writing this during the COVID/shelter in place era, and there was a kid who lived on my block named Landon,' she shared. 'He would come over and poke his nose in — 'What are you doing, Miss 'Naka, what are you writing? What's this show, what's this show? Can you put me in this show? Put me in this show!'' And when all was said and done, there a young boy named Landon is, helping out one of Marvel's newest heroes. 'So I'm very glad that Landon lives' as a character, 'and Harper makes him sing,' Hodge smiled. Want scoop on any Marvel TV show?

'Ironheart' spoilers! Who is that devilish villain in the season finale?
Spoiler alert! The following story discusses important plot points and the ending of the Marvel series 'Ironheart' (streaming now on Disney+), so beware if you haven't seen it. The devil's in the details of 'Ironheart.' From posters of Faust to life-changing deals between characters, there's a demonic presence throughout the latest Marvel superhero series. And it all leads to a major reveal in the season finale: the debut of Mephisto (Sacha Baron Cohen), the manipulative master of hell, into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 'He's one of the big, big, big bads in the comics that has a lot of tethers to characters that we've been working with for years, and also characters that we hopefully will work with in the future,' says Brad Winderbaum, executive producer and head of Marvel Television. 'Ironheart' centers on young genius Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), who's back in Chicago with her high-tech armored suit but no cash flow to make more advancements. She's recruited by Parker Robbins (Anthony Ramos), a crook with a mysterious magical hood, to join his crew but soon learns that 'The Hood' is way more evil than she expected. To combat his powers, Riri adds some supernatural mojo to her armor, but it's not without a cost: Her onboard AI, a digital representation of Riri's dead best friend Natalie (Lyric Ross), is deleted in the process. The season finale shows Parker's backstory and his deal with Mephisto. 'I am going to make you the greatest human of your generation,' Mephisto tells Parker, who says he wants to be 'stupid, disgusting, greasy rich.' Mephisto speaks in a nondescript accent when trying to make the bargain, but Cohen uses his own British accent when Mephisto's at his most villainous. 'Ironheart' creator Chinaka Hodge had 'this idea that he code-switches to ingratiate himself more to whoever he is talking to,' Winderbaum says. It became this fun detail that just made you feel like you could never quite trust that you were on solid footing whenever you were talking to him.' And when Parker's defeated by Riri, Mephisto moves on to her as his new mark, offering his services – for a price. 'Come on, Riri, make my millennia,' Mephisto says to her as they shake hands on their deal at the end of the episode: Natalie returns, not as an AI but as a woman back from the dead, and when they embrace, dark red striations crawl up Riri's arms showing that Mephisto has her in in his clutches. 'Mephisto's not a character that's shooting fiery, blast-y things from his hands. He's kind of threading his way into her mind and her future,' Winderbaum says. In the Marvel mythology, Mephisto is "up there with Thanos and Loki,' Winderbaum says. After first appearing in a 1968 issue of 'Silver Surfer,' Mephisto's been a frequent nuisance for Spider-Man and has tussled with Doctor Strange, Doctor Doom, Scarlet Witch and many others. The Marvel brain trust has wanted to use Mephisto since the MCU's earliest days. 'I don't know if he's ever made it to the screenplay page on particular projects, but certainly he was on the whiteboard for particular projects,' Winderbaum says. There's been rampant fan speculation for years about when Mephisto might show up. Many were convinced he was the major villain of 2021's Disney+ 'WandaVision' series, 'which certainly piqued our interest,' Winderbaum says. 'It felt like there was a confluence of things based on the stories we want to tell in the future and also fan enthusiasm that made 'Ironheart' just that perfect place to introduce him.' And having Mephisto in the MCU opens up a whole new realm of metaphysical storytelling, Winderbaum adds. 'Not just demonology and hell and theology in a Marvel-y way, but also morality and the ethics of that and the questions that those stories historically have brought to the forefront." When it came to casting Mephisto, I think Sacha was on all our minds,' Winderbaum adds. And now that he's here, the devilish fiend is staying for a while – and maybe even hitting the big screen sooner rather than later. 'Because we have a big player on the field right now, that doesn't just evaporate. That resonates and is going to grow into very interesting territory into the future,' Winderbaum says. 'He's extremely unbound by the medium. Without going into too much detail, the types of projects he will be in are not dependent on television.'
