I am so grateful that Melissa Rosenberg, Jeph Loeb, Marvel, and Netflix entrusted me to take the reins.”

Krysten Ritter on the set of “Marvel’s Jessica Jones” Season 3

“Marvel’s Jessica Jones” stars Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, with Rachael Taylor as Trish Walker, Carrie-Anne Moss as Jeri Hogarth, and Eka Darville as Malcolm Ducasse. The series is executive produced by showrunner Melissa Rosenberg along with Marvel’s Jeph Loeb. “Marvel’s Jessica Jones” is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix.

The 'Marvel's Cloak & Dagger' star discusses Melissa Bowen's struggles and unrelenting hope.

***SPOILER ALERT: Don’t proceed any further if you haven’t seen the most recent episode of “Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger”!***

Despite her struggles and addictions, and much to her daughter Tandy’s annoyance, Melissa Bowen is an eternal optimist. Melissa’s complex and compromised, weathering the storms (which there have been many), to the best of her ability. In the latest episode of “Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger,” titled “Call/Response,” Melissa’s lawyer boyfriend, Greg, may be on to something with their case against Roxxon.

The Bowen women are beginning to mend some of their relationship, and we even see Tandy making efforts to get to know Greg and give him a chance. After getting a glimpse of Greg’s hope and dreams involving both Bowen women, Tandy couldn’t help but yearn for any semblance of normalcy and stability. However, the feel good feelings and hopes for both Tandy and Melissa were short-lived following the shocking murder of Greg at the end of the episode.

Speaking to Marvel.com, Andrea Roth, who plays Melissa Bowen, gave us a deeper look at the Bowen matriarch’s survivor’s guilt and her deep need to reconcile with Tandy, as well as her reactions to last week’s shocking episode reveal.

Marvel.com: It’s easy to dismiss Melissa for her shortcomings and her strained relationship with her daughter, but what do you think are her redeeming character traits that we’ve also been able to witness in just the first few episodes? 

Andrea Roth: Underneath her addiction, who she once was before survivor’s guilt and the grief from her husband, dealing with her daughter’s survivor’s guilt, all that stuff, Melissa was an innocent, hopeful, headstrong woman much like how Tandy is now. It’s just unfortunate we both have addictions and pain and anger and this cloud of complex, messed up mother-daughter relationship swimming around us.

Marvel.com: We do see a lot of glimmers of this hopefulness and this optimism. How does Melissa maintain all the optimism despite the loss and despite the pain?

Andrea Roth: The only thing that is holding her up is her belief that she is going to, at some point, vindicate her husband. If she actually gave up on it, or if she was eventually told that all of her obsessiveness about it was all in vain, she probably would collapse into a way deeper abyss. I think it’s actually the thing that is propping her up. The part of her that is hopeful has found its mooring in trying to vindicate her husband.

Marvel.com: Marvel and Freeform believe in the power of flawed protagonists, and this show navigates these real-world hardships and emotions and complexities delicately but still head-on. How do you think Melissa views her fragility, her depression, and her reliance on drugs? Does she push it aside or does she understand that this is part of who she is?

Andrea Roth: No, she sadly is just caught in a hamster wheel. Each day, she thinks she’s not going to drink later that night. She can go through periods of not as much and I think sometimes she drinks a little less. She’s incredibly self-hating because of it. She knows exactly what it is and she knows that she is just too weak to overcome it. It makes her feel terrible about herself and therefore, she sometimes lashes out or pushes back at her daughter. She doesn’t think that she deserves the love of her daughter. She’s unable to love herself at times—she’s disappointed in herself and she just doesn’t have the skills to get out of it, to stop drinking, to find some help and health.

Marvel.com: In this episode, we witness for the first time an interaction between Melissa and Tandy that wasn’t prickly or tense. How does she view her relationship with Tandy? Will she finally have all her ducks in a row with Greg, with Tandy, and the Roxxon case?

Andrea Roth: Happily for her, she’s finally found a relationship that is healthy and has potential. And Tandy, during their fight, understandably lets it be known that her mother could never—no man wants her for anything good. She’s hurt by that and that she secretly also believes it about herself. She has such low self-esteem from drinking way too long and not having the strength to stop it.

Then, when they start teaming up, this is a moment where her daughter actually maybe respects her a bit for what she always thought was Melissa deluding myself, trying to figure out this Roxxon stuff, trying to vindicate her husband’s name. All of a sudden, there’s some hope in that relationship that we’re actually going to be on the same page, that we’re actually seeing something with the same eyes and I think it’s very hopeful and that she’s going to find some respect for me and that I will find some respect for her. I think it’s going to give us a new chance at a relationship.

Marvel.com: One of Tandy’s powers is that she can see people’s hopes. What would Melissa’s hopes be if Tandy were able to see it?

Andrea Roth: She lives so much in the past that her hopes would be having a wonderful family back together again. Most importantly, she’d have to stop drinking so that she could then have a real, caring, mother-daughter relationship, and be able to be the mother that deep inside she wants to be. She just can’t get out of her own way.

Marvel.com: How did you feel when you were shooting the scenes for Greg’s hopes where he sees himself really integrated with the family, they’re cooking together, you’re supporting —

Andrea Roth: Oh yes, you’re absolutely right. At the beginning, I have a hope that this might be my path to healthiness to some happiness, to a good, loving relationship, maybe even a good male figure in my daughter’s life. This could be the early signs of something really, really wonderful. That is also, of course a hope.

Marvel.com: The devastating reveal at the end of the episode is that Tandy witnesses someone murdering Gregg and destroying all of his case files and research on Roxxon. Do you think this turning point will drive Melissa further or closer to Tandy. How will this emotionally and mentally impact her?

Andrea Roth: With Melissa, she is surprising sometimes, but it can only go one of two ways. One, she could spiral down into her abyss of addiction and pain and grief and wallowing. Or, it may spark her to have hope again because obviously it shows they’re on to something. All of these years, she wasn’t delusional.

It could be a catalyst for a turning point—a healing moment between Tandy and her mom that they both are seeing the same thing with the same eyes and that there really was something wrong. They want to vindicate her father, my husband together. I think it’s going to allow Tandy to forgive me and respect me a little more that I’ve held onto this and I want to do right by his name. It’s also going to give me a chance to see that my little girl is not a little girl but a young, powerful, forthright—she takes action, she goes out there and tries to do things—all those things are going to possibly change our relationship.

Marvel.com: Is there anything you can tease for what else is to come for your character the remainder of the season?

Andrea Roth: Well, it’s safe to say that with Melissa Bowen, you just never know how she’s going to react to things. Joe Pokaski has said my character, he felt, had the greatest arc in the show. We’ll be wondering what that arc will or will not be, or who I am or am not. Don’t completely give up on Melissa.

“Marvel’s Spider-Man” – “Between an Ock and a Hard Place” airs Monday, June 25 at 6:30-7:00pm ET/PT on Disney XD.

With Season 2 debuting June 22 on Netflix, take a look back at the destruction in Season 1.

Det. Misty Knight summed up the first season of “Marvel’s Luke Cage” when she told a triumphant Cage that he may be bulletproof, “but Harlem ain’t.” This dictum would go on to define the series, as Cage’s efforts to dismantle the Stokes-Dillard criminal syndicate meant that a whole lot of New York got smashed up, shot at, blown to bits and hurled through a window in the process.

We wanted to find out exactly the extent of the physical damage dealt to Harlem. To do this, we counted every busted door, ruined outfit, collapsed pre-war mixed use building and smashed window in the entire series to add up just how much the insurance company will have to pony up, and Sweet Christmas is it a hefty bill.

In a mere 13 episodes, Cage’s crusade led to:

● 19 shattered windows
● 16 perfectly good doors kicked in or ripped off their hinges
● A dozen walls needing significant repair to ameliorate severe drywall or masonry damage
● Upwards of 10 vehicles that need chassis repair or window replacement
● One shed containing a secret laboratory that has significant structural flaws following a reasonable and understandable rampage

That’s more than one door smashed through per episode! Pop’s barbershop alone — the Switzerland of Harlem — sustained thousands of dollars in damage, and then a mere 10 episodes later suffered all of that damage yet again. There’s a window of the barbershop that appears to have been broken three unique times in one season.

Much of this is because lots of employees of the Stokes-Dillard organization didn’t get the “Luke Cage is bulletproof” memo quickly enough. Luke’s bulletproof skin and courageous nature led to hundreds of dollars worth of hoodies and tee shirts being shredded as part of an honest day’s work, not to mention repeated bullet damage to rooms he was in.

Most of the damage to Harlem was done by the criminal element despite Luke’s attempt to stop it. Cottonmouth shot an RPG and destroyed a building. Diamondback detonated a bomb that destroyed prime warehouse real estate. The Dillard operation’s employees shot up their own establishment, destroying the entire bar, a commercial kitchen, and prime music venue.

All told, the damage was enormous, but Harlem can recover. There were nightclubs to restore, bars to restock and a lovely building on 171st & Broadway that needs to be rebuilt. The bill to repair materials alone is estimated to be approximately $6.56 million, and you’re talking at least double that when you factor in labor costs.

Harlem may not be bulletproof, but just like Luke Cage, it can take a punch, and it can bounce back, recover from the hit and rise again stronger than ever.

“Marvel’s Luke Cage” Season 2 debuts Friday, June 22 on Netflix. You can see Luke Cage in action in “Marvel’s Luke Cage” Season 1 and “Marvel’s The Defenders,” now streaming on Netflix. Follow @LukeCage on Twitter and like “Marvel’s Luke Cage” on Facebook for all the latest news and updates.

A brand-new episode of the Freeform hit airs tonight!

Today, Marvel Television gave the first official look at Ally Maki’s character, Mina Hess, on the hit series “Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger,” see above!

Mina Hess is described as “a brilliant environmental engineer convinced that science will save the world, if the corporate suits will just get out of her way.” The original, new character will serve as “a mirror, a mentor, and a friend to Tandy.” Maki’s Mina Hess will make her debut on “Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger” in next week’s episode titled ‘Princeton Offense,’ as Tandy is consumed with getting answers about the Roxxon cover up.

The role is Maki’s first foray into Marvel cinematic universe. Earlier this year, at the Freeform Summit, Maki exclusively shared with Marvel.com her excitement for the project. “Working with Marvel has always been one of my dreams,” revealed Maki. “My favorite character is Groot so anytime I see Groot, I’m just like, ‘We live in the same universe now!’ It’s mind-blowing. But I’m so incredibly stoked!”

What was it like working with Olivia Holt, who plays Tandy Bowen on the series? “The moment I met her, we had this girl chemistry,” gushed Maki. “Sometimes it takes a minute to get to know someone, but with Olivia, she’s so wonderful, so kind, funny and gorgeous. We had this instant girl crush bond thing. We worked together pretty much the whole time, so it’s definitely going to be a strong sisterhood duo that you see up there.”

“The most important thing about my character is that she’s this amazing environment engineer,” added Maki, a passion she possess in her everyday personal life. “The way that Tandy and Mina work together…we’re science girls. I believe in the environment and climate change, and what we’re doing to the planet. This is something that the next generation should be extremely aware of and vocal about.” Maki has hope that it sparks an interest in young viewers who don’t typically see two young women interested in science on television. She’s also incredibly excited for the Asian American community to witness “an empowered, strong woman who is cool in a different way.”

“Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger” comes full circle for Maki. The project reunites the star with the Freeform network, which she previously worked on “10 Things I Hate About You.” In addition, Marvel.com learned that Maki used to be real-life roommates with another Marvel badass lady, Chloe Bennet AKA Daisy “Quake” Johnson, who helped her feel welcomed joining the Marvel family.
