These look to be some basic test or promo shots for the series. Filming for the series has recently begun and with the teaser for Daredevil now on the web, it&#8217;s time for Netflix to begin building hype for their other projects.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the graphic novel <i>Alias<\/i> by Brian Michael Bendis, the series follows private investigator Jessica Jones after a short-lived career as superhero Jewel. Working to overcome a tragedy in her past related to David Tennant&#8217;s Zebediah Killgrave, AKA the Purple Man, Jones takes on cases related to the super-powered individuals popping up all over the world. The original comic was published under Marvel&#8217;s MAX imprint, meaning it contained more violence, sexual content, and darker themes than their other books.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/B9IHc-IcAEyRb7.jpg-small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15218\" src=\"http:\/\/theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/B9IHc-IcAEyRb7.jpg-small-300x279.jpg\" alt=\"B9IHc--IcAEyRb7.jpg small\" width=\"300\" height=\"279\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/B9IHdYqIUAAiiXL.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15219\" src=\"http:\/\/theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/B9IHdYqIUAAiiXL-300x278.jpg\" alt=\"B9IHdYqIUAAiiXL\" width=\"300\" height=\"278\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/index.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-15216 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/theculturednerd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/index-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"index\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a>The show is building quite a cast of additional actors and heroes, with Mike Coulter (<i>Zero Dark Thirty, Halo: Nightfall<\/i>) as Luke Cage and Rachel Taylor (<i>The Loft, Darkest Hour<\/i>) as Patricia Walker, AKA Hell Cat. With the addition of Carrie Ann Moss (<i>The Matrix<\/i>) as the currently unknown Harper, it&#8217;s obvious Netflix is bringing in lots of star power for this one. And for good reason, as this series will likely be much darker than Marvel&#8217;s other outings. Kristen Ritter is no stranger to a gritty drama, and after her performance as Jesse Pinkman&#8217;s girlfriend in AMC&#8217;s <i>Breaking Bad<\/i>, I&#8217;m excited to see what she brings to this series.<\/p>\n<p>Marvel is great at giving us something different with each entry into their cinematic universe. <i>Captain America: The Winter Soldier<\/i> was a great spy thriller and <i>Guardians of the Galaxy<\/i> was an over the top space opera. With AKA Jessica Jones, it sounds like we&#8217;re going to be getting a noir detective story set in a world with superheroes.<\/p>\n<p>Catch Netflix&#8217;s first Marvel series, Daredevil, April 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nThe first images of Kristen Ritter as the titular character of AKA Jessica Jones have landed, though don&#8217;t expect to&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=15215\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;First look at Kristen Ritter in AKA Jessica Jones&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":15217,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[6,19],"tags":[44,47,128,140,392,414,450,474,502,566],"class_list":["post-15215","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-film-tv","category-tv","tag-aka-jessica-jones","tag-alias","tag-brian-michael-bendis","tag-carrie-ann-moss","tag-jessica-jones","tag-kristen-ritter-superhero","tag-marvel","tag-mike-coulter","tag-netflix-original","tag-rachel-taylor","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>First look at Kristen Ritter in AKA Jessica Jones - The Cultured Nerd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=15215\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"First look at Kristen Ritter in AKA Jessica Jones - The Cultured Nerd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The first images of Kristen Ritter as the titular character of AKA Jessica Jones have landed, though don&#8217;t expect to&hellip;
