I can see what they are going for, her being sarcastic and all but it could work out. I liked her on Don't Trust the B. Not my first choice but I would like to see her with whoever is cast as Cage.

[Cyke]

She's not the first one that comes to mind, but I've liked seeing her get more and more work lately. Good to hear that she's taking on the role.

"Don't Trust the B-" was funny, but her performance in "Breaking Bad" makes me think she can pull it off. Not my first choice, but I do like her.

I love her but she is not my first choice by a long shot. She needs to add some weight.

[jwatson]

Loved her in the B and don't know much about Jessica Jones so this works for me.

[The Kid]

She's a good actor. Nice pick

[Derek Metaltron]

Saw her in Breaking Bad and she was a great character there, so I reckon they've made a good choice. Hopefully they'll allow the relationship of Luke and Jessica to play out properly, including having a kid. I gather Cage is appearing in 7 of her 13 episodes?

Now we need to have the Purple Man for sadistic villainy.

[Supernature]

I love her.

I definitely have to watch this now.

[DocSpin]

Wait! She's playing the title character "Julia" in the new Jessica Jones series. What am I missing here?

Erik Roberts would make a great Purple Man though probably too old for the role.

She was good in Breaking Bad so I think she can pull this off.

The report does say According to THR, Ritter will play Julia (better known as Jessica Jones... so they're either saying the source got it wrong - a (sic) would've been useful - or pointing out that she's been renamed for whatever reason.

I like Ritter, and still miss the Gilmore Girls.

Too Bad Marvel isn't producing this 40 years ago, so we could have Jim Brown as Cage. Oh, well. I'm actually looking forward to seeing what they do with these 4 properties and Defenders (Elf with a Gun! Come on Hollywood; you know you want to!).
