The Marvel Cinematic Universe is constantly expanding, both on the big screen and through projects streaming with a Disney+ subscription. The latter is the case for "Daredevil: Born Again," which is deep into its second season currently. And CinemaBlend got a chance to speak with showrunner Dario Scardapane and EP Sana Amanat about not only bringing back Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones, but also introducing Matthew Lillard's Mr. Charles in this new batch of episodes.

"Daredevil: Born Again" Season 2 has been pretty incredible, with the stakes being majorly raised since the first season. Fans who spent years watching the Marvel movies in order have loved seeing characters from the Netflix MCU shows return, including Jessica Jones. When speaking with the pair of producers ahead of the new season, CinemaBlend asked them what was more exciting between the two characters.

00:00I was also curious, which was kind of more fun or exciting?
00:04A, bringing Jessica Jones back, or B, introducing Matthew Lillard to the MCU,
00:10because those are right where I live.
00:12You're making us choose, like, spoiler, the best part is putting them together.
00:17Yeah, yeah.
00:18Wait till you see that.
00:19I can't wait.
00:20So for me, on a personal level, being able to bring my good friend Matt into this world
00:25and knowing, you know, I wrote this character for him.
00:27I knew what he was going to do with it.
00:28I didn't have to do much convincing, but I'm like, guys, guys, guys, just wait.
00:34That was really satisfying, really fun.
00:36Bringing Jessica and Kirsten back into the world, we knew we were going to do it.
00:40I mean, that was never even a conversation.
00:42We knew first season.
00:44She just needs to be part of this world.
00:46She needs to be part of this discussion.
00:49Kristen's such an amazing flavor that comes into this.
00:52Her banter with Matt and Charlie and her's chemistry had to be done.
00:57So, yeah, I can't pick one.
01:00No, it's really hard.
01:01I think Matt Lillard was such an amazing surprise and unexpected and well-written.
01:05I mean, Dario, like, obviously pushed for it.
01:07No surprise to me.
01:08Well, we knew what Matt Lillard could do, but I think just the – I think Dario was
01:13so smart in understanding that it needed to be him for this role because I think the
01:18show needed it, and then also at the same time, I think J.J., she also – she brings
01:24a different sensibility but is a similar kind of energy sort of being injected into
01:29the show.
01:30I will say the moment she walked on set with her boots and her jacket and she was standing
01:35next to Daredevil.
01:36It just all felt so right.
01:37It felt good.
01:38It felt like a comic book cover.
