The return of Charlie Cox as Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio as Kingpin has prompted many fans to speculate about what other Netflix-era Marvel characters could return. One such Marvel character that fans have been eager to see make a comeback happens to be Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, and as shown by her new look, many believe it might signal her return to the MCU.
Ritter’s new look was shared on her Instagram story on May 9, 2024. As you can see below, she looks directly at the camera with a brand-new view of her vividly purple hair. It’s this new hair color that has fans thinking about Jessica Jones, as she herself sports purple hair in the original comics when she becomes Jewel.
As such, it doesn’t take much to assume this might mean Jessica Jones is preparing to play Jessica Jones in a more comic book accurate way. Of course, that’s yet to be confirmed in any official way, but Marvel Studios has certainly proven that just about anyone can come back at this point.
Here’s the image of Krysten Ritter and her new look that’s prompted the rumors of her return:

It’s unknown how exactly Ritter could be utilized in the MCU going forward. Of course, there could simply be a new Jessica Jones series. But it’s possible that there will be a cameo role or supporting role used to reintroduce her. With Daredevil: Born Again in production, it’s quite possible that she could make an appearance in that particular series. We’ll just have to see what happens.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional Marvel Cinematic Universe updates as we have them and any other news regarding Krysten Ritter. Hopefully we’ll know soon whether or not she’ll make a return to the MCU. In the meantime, at least she looks great rocking purple hair.
