Krysten Ritter recently posted an Instagram story seemingly teasing her return as Jessica Jones, fuelling speculation about her potential appearance in Daredevil: Born Again.
The star of Netflix's Jessica Jones shared a video to her Instagram story showing herself wearing a t-shirt her character wore on the show, with the text "IYKYK [if you know you know]" and a winking face emoji. Cosmic Marvel on X/Twitter posted a screenshot of the story alongside an image of the Marvel heroine from her series.

Some fans took this as confirmation that Ritter is reprising her Jessica Jones role in the upcoming Disney+ MCU series Daredevil: Born Again. Those people wasted no time celebrating the prospective reunion of Ritter's hardboiled PI with Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock, with one person saying it's "a clear sign" of her imminent return.

Several familiar faces from the franchise are already confirmed to be joining Cox's lawyer-turned-vigilante in Hell's Kitchen for Daredevil: Born Again, which is currently filming, including Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle/Punisher, and Wilson Bethel's Benjamin Poindexter/Bullseye.
Murdock and Jones previously crossed paths in the 2017 Netflix series The Defenders, which Disney+ recently added to the official MCU timeline, along with Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and the rest of the Defenders saga, essentially extending the canon by 161 hours while Marvel's Phase 5 is still in full swing.
Whether of not Jones shows up in Daredevil: Born Again remains to be seen. It is possible the star was teasing her followers or even referencing her involvement on another project. Recent rumours suggest Ritter might be joining the cast of Sonic the Hedgehog 3: The Movie, though that news is also unconfirmed at this time.
