Krysten Ritter had only just hung up the leather jacket after wrapping principal photography on The Defenders two weeks ago, but according to a report unearthed by MCU Exchange, the actress is gearing up to hit the streets of NYC once more to film Jessica Jones season 2.
Citing a source from On Location Vacations, the outlet notes that a couple of New York City’s streets – namely Broadway and West 101st Street – have been earmarked as filming locations, indicating that the cameras are about to start rolling very soon. What lends credence to this tidbit is the fact that those same locations were used throughout the course of Jessica Jones season 1, specifically those scenes involving Alias Investigations and the exterior shots of Jessica’s apartment. Filming in the Big Apple tends to draw the crowds, particularly for a superhero project on the level of Jessica Jones (see: The Punisher and Defenders), so expect set photos to follow.
Besides, it wasn’t all that long ago when Ritter confirmed that she’d be shooting The Defenders and season 2 of Jessica Jones back-to-back, so if nothing else, MCU Exchange’s findings suggest that Marvel’s bustling TV universe is right on schedule. As for Jessica’s next adventure in Hell’s Kitchen, there are currently two questions on everyone’s lips: will Trish Walker complete her transition to Hellcat? And how can Marvel possibly top David Tennant’s magnetic performance as Kilgrave? Time will tell.
Jessica Jones will soon join forces with Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist to form The Defenders, though there’s still no mention of when Marvel and Netflix’s team-up series will air. What we do know is that it’ll stretch for eight episodes in total, two of which will be helmed by S.J. Clarkson.
