Defenders and Jessica Jones season 2 will be filmed back to back, says Krysten Ritter

Jessica Jones herself, Krysten Ritter, has revealed that Netflix's The Defenders will be filmed "back to back" this year against her own second solo series.

The actress even hinted that any character from the Marvel Universe could make a cameo in the next instalment of Jessica Jones. Yes - any character.....

Imminent mini-super-series The Defenders was announced last month, and will feature an ensemble cast of Jessica, Luke Cage (Mike Colter), Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and Iron Fist (Finn Jones).

Filming hasn't yet started on either series, but…

"They'll be back-to-back. I don't know if they'll overlap a little bit," said Ritter.

"It's about to be a serious undertaking. I'm starting my physical training - lots of weight training and boxing."

As for Luke Cage's own solo outing on Netflix? It's just another cog in the Marvel wheel shrouded in secrecy, says Ritter.

"Marvel have this grand plan. Luke Cage will come out, then Iron Fist. In terms of scheduling I don't know how it will all come out and I can't even tell you if I've filmed Luke Cage.

1. Yipee! Jessica Jones will be back!

Now I don't want to watch it until the end of the season because I want to binge watch it on Netflix.

[Initech]

2. Netflix and Marvel are doing some good work!

Can't wait! I still need to finish Daredevil season 2 and Jessica Jones season 1.

3. I hope the Defenders has some of the gonzo quality the book used to have...

...especially Steve Gerber's 1970s run...

[RandySF]

4. I hope we get Hellcat.

[First Speaker]

5. Yes! The Defenders without Patsy isn't really the Defenders...

6. Does this mean Spiderman?

"The actress even hinted that any character from the Marvel Universe could make a cameo in the next instalment of Jessica Jones. Yes - any character....."

7. That would be cool

Have Capt America or Spider-Man mosey on through one episode...

[Xyzse]

8. Yeah, makes sense.

Spiderman since he's kinda close enough.
Cap, since he's based from the area too...

[NewJeffCT]

9. Yes

and, back when I read comics a lot in the 70s and 80s, Spidey and Daredevil teamed up sometimes (Marvel Team-Up or Marvel Two-In-One) and also with Luke Cage/PowerMan

[RandySF]

10. Spider Man is a high school sophomore on that world

I'm not sure he and Jessica would be a good mix.

[NewJeffCT]

11. well, not as a couple for dating

but, I think Spidey could work as a temporary ally over an episode or two for JJ, Iron First, Luke Cage or Daredevil
