During Disney‘s upfront presentation, Cox took the stage with none other than Krysten Ritter, the actor known for playing Jessica Jones.

“It’s so great to be back, returning to Jessica after three seasons and ‘The Defenders’ and now joining the MCU,” Ritter said, per Variety. “I’m so excited to bring back this iconic character, and without giving too much away, there is much more in store for Jessica Jones. This is going to be an incredible season!”

Ritter made her debut as Jessica Jones on Netflix in 2015. “Jessica Jones” was one of five Marvel shows that aired on Netflix, including “Daredevil,” “Luke Cage,” “Iron Fist,” “The Punisher,” and “The Defenders.”

All Netflix Marvel series came to an end in 2019 after Disney made the move to put all Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) shows exclusively on Disney+.
