"Marvel is mum as usual, but I hear they have tapped Krysten Ritter for the lead in the company's straight-to-series drama Jessica Jones. Ritter was one of five actresses who tested for the role. I hear it came down to her and Teresa Palmer, with both doing chemistry reads with The Following's Mike Colter, believed to be the choice for male lead Luke Cage," Deadline wrote in an update.
Among the five shortlisted for the lead role in Jessica Jones Netflix series, Ritter, according to the fans, had the longest shot.
