Brian Michael Bendis’ Alias was one of my favorite comics of the 2000s and gave us a fresh perspective on the Marvel Universe. So, I was over the moon when Netflix announced that they were adapting the comic as Jessica Jones in 2015. I was even happier when I watched the first episode and realized that they’d absolutely nailed the tone of the source material and that Krysten Ritter was outstanding in the lead role.
The show ran for three seasons, with the first arc involving David Tennant’s Kilgrave, and still contains some of the best storytelling the MCU has to offer. Seasons two and three didn’t quite live up to those heights, but the character still has bucket loads of potential. All that makes it understandable that recent rumors Marvel Studios is planning to recast the role has made fans very worried.
