UPDATE: I hear another actress has been added to the list of those testing for the lead in Marvel/Netflix‘s Jessica Jones series, _The Divide_ star MARIN IRELAND, who just became available
after the WEtv drama was cancelled. I’ve also updated the list of candidates for the part of Luke Cage with a third name, Cleo Anthony. PREVIOUSLY: I hear Marvel is assembling a field of
actresses invited to test for the lead of the company’s straight-to-series drama _Jessica Jones_ for Netflix. I hear it includes KRYSTEN RITTER, ALEXANDRA DADDARIO, TERESA PALMER and JESSICA
DE GOUW. All fall within the 25-33 age range listed on the breakdowns for the role. Spearheaded by Melissa Rosenberg, the 13-episode drama — the second in a four-series Netflix-Marvel deal
— centers on Jessica Jones, a superhero suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, which leads to her hanging up her costume and opening her own detective agency, where she ends up
helping people and assisting other superheroes. I also heard THREE names mentioned as being in consideration for the male lead Luke Cage: _Crisis_‘ LANCE GROSS and _The Good Wife_, _The
Following_‘s MIKE COLTER and CLEO ANTHONY (_Transparent_). Cage is designed to appear in 6-7 episodes of _Jessica Jones_ and then topline his own series, the fourth in the Netflix-Marvel
package that includes_ Daredevil,_ starring Charlie Cox; _Jessica Jones; Iron Fist_; and_ Luke Cage. _The characters from the four shows band together for a miniseries to close out the
storylines. Ritter comes from a similar comedy background as Chris Pratt, the star of the latest Marvel hit superhero franchise, _Guardians Of The Galaxy_. While she recently did several
comedy pilots and series, including ABC’s _Don’t Trust The B—-_, Ritter also had a role on the dark AMC drama_ Breaking Bad._ Daddario, Palmer and De Gouw all have genre credentials.
Daddario is known for her roles as Annabeth in the _Percy Jackson_ movie franchise and the lead in _Texas Chainsaw 3D_. (She also recurred on _White Collar, Parenthood_ and _True
Detective_.) Australian Palmer did_ The Grudge 2, I Am Number Four, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice_ and _Warm Bodies_, while fellow Aussie De Gouw starred on NBC’s _Dracula_ and plays the
Huntress on the CW’s _Arrow_. WATCH ON DEADLINE
