Krysten Ritter to star as Jessica Jones
"Krysten brings both the hard edge and the vulnerability the role demands," said Executive Producer/Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg. "We can't wait for fans to see her in action, coming to Netflix in 2015."
"Krysten Ritter has the type of range, spanning the comic to the tragic, that makes for the stuff of the best Marvel heroes," said Jeph Loeb, Executive Producer/Marvel's Head of Television. "As Jessica Jones, Krysten will bring one of the most beloved new characters of the past decade to life in a way we know will delight her longtime fans and introduce her to many more."
Best known for her roles in "Breaking Bad," "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23," and "Veronica Mars," she will next star alongside Amy Adams, Christoph Waltz, and Jason Schwartzman in Director Tim Burton's "Big Eyes" this Holiday season.

I'm loving the casting for all the Netflix series. Here's hoping Scott Adkins lands Iron Fist!
Well, I just hope that Anthony Cleo gets the role of Luke Cage, and Jason Faunt gets the role of Iron Fist.
If Guardians taught me anything, is that Marvel can make cool things out of characters I never heard of.
Also cast Purple Man for season one.
Yaaay! Now cast Luke Cage and Iron Fist.
Good now we need some release dates! Last I heard was March for Dare Devil.
@SuperFightingRobot That's the greatest secret of the comic book medium: The best characters are always the ones you never heard of until the companies do something with them.
@spenserb1701 Daredevil is being released in May 2015. If we guess the same 11 month schedule used for Daredevil, that means AKA Jessica Jones will be released around November/December 2015. It seems Marvel is inclined to take this slow.
