Jessica Jones Casts Leah Gibson – Is She Playing Typhoid Mary?[/h1]
Season 2 of Netflix’s second Marvel TV series
Jessica Jones adds Leah Gibson as series regular Ingrid, who many have speculated will become Typhoid Mary. Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe originally expanded to television via ABC’s
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., their street-level corner of the MCU on Netflix has grown exponentially since kicking off with
Daredevil in 2015. Season 1 of the Matt Murdock-led series was followed by freshman outings of
Jessica Jones,
Luke Cage, and
Iron Fist, as well as a second season of
Daredevil. Next, the four heroes will team up for
The Defenders, before Marvel’s first spinoff from their Netflix corner of the MCU,
The Punisher, debuts later this year.
With the majority of Marvel’s Netflix series generating positive reactions among critics and casual audiences alike, 2018 will see highly anticipated follow-up
seasons of Jessica Jones, Luke Cage,and Daredevil arrive. For its part,
Jessica Jones season 2 has been filming since this spring, but the latest report about the Netflix series reveals who will be playing a new series regular – and potentially another villain for Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) to fight.
Variety is reporting Jessica Jones has cast Leah Gibson as Ingrid, who is described as a street-wise character with education as a nurse. The role of Ingrid was mentioned in a list of
Jessica Jones season 2 character breakdowns, with speculation quickly pointing to the character becoming Marvel Comics villain Typhoid Mary. However, with information about Jessica Jones season 2 being kept as tightly under wraps as all Marvel productions, it’s far from confirmed Typhoid Mary will appear, let alone that Ingrid will become the comic book character.
