It might happen later on, who knows?
Paul Rudd's more likely to show up on one of these than an Evans or RDJ. He has far more of a 'if it's good, I'll do it... I don't care about the medium' attitude.

Hopefully they shoot this in nyc as well
thankfully, they are
Even better
I actually only know him from some SNL episodes and Night Of Too Many Starts. No idea what he is actually famous for.

Clueless, Wet Hot American Summer, Anchorman?
It's not like Rudd is that expensive. If he can guest-star on Parks and Rec, he could guest star in this.

I hope the show is a success for this all to be worth it.

Look, we all want Krysten Ritter in skirts, but if it's not right for the character, it ain't happening

Are they including all the superpowers and shit in this? I know Daredevil was MCU but it all felt a lot more grounded not having people flying and shooting laser blasts.
We dont know yet.

Reading on Jessica Jones powers, it makes you wonder why she isn't in the movies. How will they explain that such a strong metahuman is running around without the characters in the movies wanting to bring her in.
I'm guessing that the series will have flashbacks set just after The Avengers that explain why Jessica Jones never became a full-on superhero.
She doesn't use her powers very much.
Shield is probably interested in her, but nothing about the character really screams "movie intervetion" when Shield has had characters like the Absorbing Man.
I'm also interested in how they will explain that Hank Pym apparently created the Ant Man stuff before in the 70s, turned his back on SHIELD and the superhero stuff, and is somehow not mentioned by anyone in the previous movies and Tony Stark had no idea. Marvel's definitely interested in building some sort of history to superhero stuff in the MCU, I just hope it ends up being convincing instead of obvious retcons.

Or how Howard Stark and Nick Fury founded Shield when Fury is a few decades younger than Stark.
I don't think Nick Fury founded SHIELD in MCU. Stark and Carter did. Fury just became director later.
Ah. My bad. The dialogue from Iron Man 2 is:
I always thought he implicitly said he co-founded it with Stark. Fair enough.
Don't forget Tommy Lee Jones.
Have they mentioned anything about her background in the show? In the comics, she's an ex superhero and a former/failed Avenger. That can't be the case here considering that Avengers is still at its infancy, and there aren't many superheroes (prior to the battle of NY, at least) -- which makes it harder to sell the ex-superhero angle.
Edit: typo

Just that shes a former superhero.
No, it's pretty obvious that Fury was recruited into SHIELD afterwards. Alexander Pierce makes that clear in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
I misremembered the dialogue. It happens.

Is that actress Jessie's girlfriend from Breaking Bad?
She isn't that powerful. Barely midter. Spiderman is stronger.

Yes.

Still better than Hawkeye and Black Widow, whose only superpowers are that they are the good guys in an action movie. There aren't thousands of people running around new york with superpowers like there is in the comics. She would be notable from what we've seen in the movies, even if she's not a match for Thor or anything.

I feel like the obvious route they take in explaining why nobody has mentioned her is that she was a failure. Imagine if the show version of Daredevil, before he was known by the majority of residents of Hell's Kitchen (during a moment those who have watched the show know about) had just failed and quit. Nobody would know about him, besides some random people talking about a man running around in a black mask.
Same thing could happen here. Jessica goes up against an adversary (The Purple Man?) early in her career, fails and quits. This could happen before or after NYC, since it seems to have been a few years in the past in the MCU.

Well she was coma for a good while after accident that gave her powers, then she was an oprhan(Her and Daredevil got powers in the same accident) and then adopted. She didn't get inspired to use her powers until late in highschool. She had a short stint before getting to the shit that is the basis for AKA. Not everyone gets powers and jump into costume. Hell shield knew of a guy that could roast people alive and he decided to be a bootleg david blaine.
Booth accident can be related through the same kind of waste but there is no way that booth happened in the exact the same spot. Jessicas accident doenst even look like it happend in a town, more like on a highway. I just checked in Alias, but there is no way that its the same event.
I thought they always hinted that it happened at the same time. My bad, I could have sworn she got powers at the same time Daredevil did. Somebody did, I will have to look it up.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles did!
