Anyone who’s ever been to Manhattan can tell you Hell’s Kitchen is just a few minutes' walk from Midtown, where Avengers Tower stands proud. But Marvel’s Netflix series feel a world away from their big-budget blockbusters.Daredevilwas praised for its dark, grown-up tone and its complicated villain (something that the movies struggle with quite a bit), andJessica Jonesseems to be going in a similar direction.
The big bad ofJessica Jonesis Kilgrave, played byDavid Tennant. (In the comics he’s known as the Purple Man because he’s literally a purple man. He does not appear to be grape-hued here.) We get barely a glimpse of him in theJessica Jonestrailer, but we see enough of the damage he’s done — including on our Jessica Jones herself — to tell he’s a force to be reckoned with.
Fortunately, it also appears she’s got some good people on her side.Jessica Jonesfeatures the first appearance of Luke Cage (Mike Colter), who’ll get to headline his own Netflix series next year. But in the trailer, his main job is being Jessica’s sympathetic bartender buddy.
Also starring areRachael Tayloras Jessica’s BFF Trish Walker (a.k.a. Hellcat in the comics) andCarrie-Anne Mossas Jeryn Hogarth, whom comics fans know has connections to Danny Rand a.k.a. Iron Fist — who’s also getting a Netflix series in the not-too-distant future.Rosario Dawsonwill reprise herDaredevilrole as Claire Temple.
All 13 episodes ofJessica Joneswill drop on Netflix on Friday,November 20. Perfect Thanksgiving binge-watching, if you can wait that long.
