Marvel just dropped a major surprise — and longtime fans are losing it. Jessica Jones has officially returned, marking her long-awaited entry into the main MCU timeline. The reveal comes via the newly released Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 trailer, which confirms Krysten Ritter is back as the sharp-tongued, super-strong private investigator.
Season 2 of the series is set to premiere on March 24 on Disney+, and the trailer makes it clear that Marvel is going all-in on street-level chaos.
Jessica Jones and Daredevil Finally Team Up Again
Set to Lithonia by Donald Glover, the trailer shows Jessica Jones teaming up with Daredevil, played by Charlie Cox.
Jessica doesn’t miss a beat with her trademark sarcasm either. In one standout moment, she tells an injured Matt Murdock, “I hope you can walk, because I’m not carrying you,” before jumping into action against Kingpin’s enforcers.
This marks the first official crossover of a Netflix-era Marvel hero into the core MCU timeline outside of the Daredevil cast — a huge moment for fans of Jessica Jones and The Defenders.
Familiar Faces Return — Even the Dead
The trailer also brings back several major characters from Season 1:
- Wilson Fisk / Kingpin (played by Vincent D’Onofrio) — now the Mayor of New York City
- Karen Page ( Deborah Ann Woll ), whose romance with Matt is reigniting
- Foggy Nelson ( Elden Henson ), despite his shocking death in Season 1 — likely appearing via flashbacks or dream sequences
- Bullseye ( Wilson Bethel ), who flashes a chilling grin after escaping prison
Also returning are Michael Gandolfini as Daniel Blake, Kingpin’s protégé, and Arty Froushan as Buck Cashman, Fisk’s ruthless right-hand man.
A City Without Matt Murdock?
One intriguing detail teased in the trailer is a missing person poster suggesting Matt Murdock hasn’t been seen in quite some time — though Daredevil himself is very active, waging war against Kingpin’s growing empire.
As Fisk tightens his grip on New York’s political and criminal underworld, Daredevil appears to be operating from the shadows, with Jessica Jones stepping in as both ally and muscle.
There’s also a quick but mysterious glimpse of Matthew Lillard, whose role remains under wraps but is already fueling fan theories.
Why This Moment Matters for Marvel
Krysten Ritter’s return isn’t just fan service — it’s a signal. Marvel Studios is clearly embracing the darker, grounded tone that made the Netflix Marvel shows so beloved, while officially folding them into MCU canon.
Ritter originally played Jessica Jones for three seasons on Netflix and last shared the screen with Charlie Cox in The Defenders. Her return opens the door for even more street-level heroes to follow.
Final Words
With Jessica Jones officially back, Kingpin ruling City Hall, and Daredevil fighting from the shadows, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is shaping up to be Marvel’s grittiest Disney+ chapter yet.
March 24 can’t come soon enough — and for fans of Marvel’s Netflix era, this finally feels like a true homecoming.
