A second teaser for Marvel’s Jessica Jones dropped this
week, and it shows the aftermath of an epic bar room brawl. Check out both
teasers below.
Between these two teasers, we know that Jessica can
seriously kick some ass, she’s not a morning person and she’s a really heavy
drinker. But beyond these little snippets, there’s a lot of depth to this
relatively unknown female superhero. In fact, she’s not really a superhero —
anymore. After some pretty heavy stuff happened to Jones during her superhero
stint, she hung up the cape (so to speak) and became a private investigator in
Hell’s Kitchen.
Aha! Hell’s Kitchen! Yep. Unless you live a Netflix-free
life, you probably know that Jessica Jones belongs to the same dark corner of
Marvel’s Cinematic Universe as Daredevil. And she’ll be part of The Defenders
miniseries once Luke Cage and Iron Fist make their debut. What we don’t know is
if Jones will be bumping shoulders with Matt Murdoch in the first season or if
it will be a bit further down the line. Either way, there’s bound to be some
talk about the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.
But just because Jones works in the same neighborhood as
Daredevil doesn’t mean the shows will look the same. Writer and executive
producer Melissa Rosenberg has said that Jones will have its own look and feel.
And Rosenberg should have a good grasp of the character. After developing a
Jessica Jones show for ABC, Marvel kept Rosenberg on the project when it moved
to Netflix.
At last, a complicated female character, who happens to be a
superhero, written and produced by a woman. I think it goes without saying but…
I’m REALLY excited to see this show! I loved Krysten Ritter in Breaking Bad and
Don’t Trust the B, and I think she’ll bring a lot of depth to a character that deserves
to get noticed.
The first season of Jessica Jones will premier on Netflix on
November 20th.
And if you want to learn more about Jessica Jones, I highly
recommend this video from IGN. But, be warned. There are some mild *SPOILERS AHEAD*
