Although we\u2019re a few years past the point where Marvel Cinematic Universe casting and plot points were being treated like veritable state secrets\u2014with the crack snipers of the Marvel Spoiler Squad keeping a 24\/7 detail on Tom Holland, specifically, to ensure that he kept his damn mouth shut\u2014the franchise is still capable of rolling out the occasional surprise. (Usually about digging up an old character or actor rather than anything new, but still.) Sometimes, those secrets get pretty hard to keep, though\u2014especially when they stretch out for two full years, as they did for Krysten Ritter when it came to bringing back her beloved Netflix Marvel character Jessica Jones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ritter spoke about her clandestine efforts on a recent episode of the\u00a0Bingeworthy\u00a0podcast<\/a>, noting that she\u2019s had to come up with whole new ways to sell the basic lie that she wouldn\u2019t be reviving the character. (Who\u2019s set to come back, after a seven-year absence, for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again.) \u201cI\u2019ve also known for so long, and keeping it a secret has been torture,\u201d Ritter said. \u201cI\u2019d known for almost two years, and it\u2019s a long time.\u201d (Which, if we have our timelines straight, means that initial conversations started happening pretty much the moment Marvel scrapped the original vision for the Daredevil\u00a0show circa 2023, in favor of something more tied to the old Netflix shows.) Ritter notes, among other things, that it\u2019s really nice not to have to constantly lie about where she is or why she\u2019s there, remarking that, \u201c\u2018Oh my God!\u2019 I\u2019m always pretending I\u2019m not in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

Noting that she gets asked, by the general public, about bringing the character back \u201cdaily,\u201d Ritter says she\u2019s had to seriously up her lying game in order to keep the secret. \u201cPeople ask me and I\u2019m trying to figure out new ways to be like, \u2018I don\u2019t know. I hope so. We\u2019ll see. I\u2019m so excited. I hope so.\u2019 And that\u2019s all true. But yeah, I was like, \u2018If it gets out, it\u2019s not because of me, because I have kept the secret!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
