New Jessica Jones Clip Released, Marvel President Talks Film/TV Crossovers

The superpowered private eye pours herself a drink.

It is now just over month until Jessica Jones, the latest Marvel TV show, premieres on Netflix. Following last week's teaser, a new clip has been released. Check it out here:

Jessica Jones stars Krysten Ritter as a failed superhero who has abandoned the crimefighting life to become a private detective in New York. Former Doctor Who actor David Tennant co-stars as the villainous Kilgrave (aka The Purple Man), alongside The Matrix's Carrie-Anne Moss.

Like Netflix's other Marvel show, Daredevil, Jessica Jones takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the recent restructuring at parent company Disney has cast some doubt on how much crossover would now occur between the Marvel's movies and their TV properties.

However, at a press conference for the launch of the Avengers: Age of Ultron Blu-ray this week, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige explained that crossovers between the two mediums would still occur. "I think that's inevitable at some point, as we're plotting the movies going forward and they're doing the shows," he said.

However, Feige did admit that the differing schedules made it hard to synchronise events across the films and TV shows. "It's easier for them. They're more nimble and faster and produce things quicker than we do," he explained. "Going forward, and certainly as they begin to do more shows and cast them with such great actors as they have--particularly Daredevil--that may occur.

"A lot of it is by the time we start doing a movie, they'd be midway through a season; by the time it comes out they'd be done with the second, starting the third season. Finding timing on that is not always easy."

The first season of Jessica Jones will feature 13 episodes, and will be released in its entirety on Netflix on November 20, 2015.
