Born Again’s Charlie Cox Has Major Question About Jessica Jones’ Return

Daredevil: Born Again star Charlie Cox is as excited as fans are for Krysten Ritter’s long-awaited return as Jessica Jones in Season 2. He is also interested in seeing how the upcoming season answers a burning question he has about Daredevil and Jessica’s working relationship.

Ritter’s Jessica Jones return was confirmed in May 2025 during Disney’s upfront presentation in New York City. Born Again Season 2 will mark the first time that Ritter and Cox have worked together on a Marvel project since the 2017 miniseries The Defenders. The crossover brought together the main stars of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist to face off against The Hand.

What did Charlie Cox say about Jessica Jones’ MCU return?

During a recent appearance on Deadline’s Crew Call podcast, Cox posed a question that fans have also surely had about Jessica Jones and Daredevil’s impending reunion in Born Again Season 2: “When did Jessica Jones find out that I’m not dead? At the end of Defenders, everyone assumes I’m dead.”

While set photos have already shown the two characters’ MCU reunion, exact details as to how Jessica Jones factors into the plot of Born Again Season 2 remain heavily under wraps. However, during his Crew Call chat, Cox offered up a tease as to what fans can expect on seeing these two fan favorites sharing the screen again.

“There’s a mutual respect for one another,” the actor noted. “She finds him overly serious and too much of a choir boy, and he finds her to be crass and making light of too many serious situations; she’s more anti-hero than hero.”

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 has been in production since late February 2025, under the working title Out the Kitchen 2. Besides Cox and Ritter, other returning stars from the Marvel/Netflix era include Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, Wilson Bethel as Benjamin Poindexter/Bullseye, Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk, and Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/Punisher.

There has also been rampant speculation within the fandom that Mike Colter and Finn Jones will also be returning as Luke Cage and Iron Fist, respectively, in the new season, although that remains unconfirmed by Marvel at this time.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is slated to premiere on Disney+ in March 2026.
