JESSICA JONES Revival: Marvel Reportedly Weighing TV Series or Special Presentation Format — GeekTyrant

JESSICA JONES Revival: Marvel Reportedly Weighing TV Series or Special Presentation Format — GeekTyrant

Geek Tyrant08-07-2025
Krysten Ritter's return as Jessica Jones is officially on the books with Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, but it might not stop there. According to insider Daniel Richtman, Marvel Television is actively considering bringing the hard-drinking private investigator back in her own project either as a full-blown TV series or a Special Presentation, similar to what they did with Werewolf by Night and The Punisher .
Richtman shared, "Marvel is discussing doing Jessica Jones as either a [TV] show or a special of her own."
This update comes after years of speculation and close calls. Jessica was rumored to appear in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and even came close to a cameo in Echo , but that was reportedly scrapped when Echo pivoted into its standalone 'Marvel Spotlight' branding, an experiment Marvel Studios seems to have left behind.
While the second and third seasons of the original Jessica Jones Netflix series didn't quite land the same way the first did, fans are ready to see Ritter take another shot at the role, especially with Marvel now leaning into grounded, street-level stories.
Recent reports suggest the studio wants to clearly separate its small-screen stories from its cinematic universe, leaving the big Avengers-style crossovers for theaters and keeping streaming focused on street-level drama.
This approach makes sense. Why crowd the MCU series with cosmic stakes when characters like Jessica Jones are at their best in alleys and courtrooms, not space battles? Whether it's a miniseries or a 45-minute noir-inspired one-off, there's a lot of potential here.
Marvel TV boss Brad Winderbaum recently emphasized the importance of pacing and story-first decisions when asked about bringing back other Defenders characters like Luke Cage or Iron Fist:
'It's about not rushing and telling the best story. Yes, it's exciting to think about characters interacting, but it's about the reasons why. At times we've done that very well, at times we've rushed. The story has to lead the path.'
This could hint that Marvel isn't rushing to throw every Netflix alum into Born Again , but they're definitely thinking about it. And if Jessica Jones clicks again with fans, a solo return makes perfect sense.

New 'Old Skool' Vans shoes sell out, listed for hundreds on resale market

Squeaky clean sneakers may just be a thing of the past. Sold out in less than 24 hours, Vans' new sneaker features a pre-worn style with muddled coloring, tweed fringe detailing, and laces and soles that appear dirty – though they are brand new. The Premium Old Skool Shoe in Souvenir Warm Brown went live on the Vans website late July 30 and by the next day, the sneakers were already sold out. The Vans website, as of July 31, states that 118 people had purchased the sneakers. Originally $125, the limited-edition sneakers are now available for between $500 to $1,600 on eBay. Here's what we know about the Premium Old Skool Shoe and what Vans fans think about them. 'Y'all getting these???': Nike is releasing dirty Air Force 1s, social media is perplexed Vans Warped Tour: First few bands for 2025 comeback following hiatus What do the Old Skool 36 'Souvenir' Vans look like? The canvas of the low-top skate sneakers appears spraypainted with brown leather overlays. The sneakers feature multicolored tweed strip detailing and Vans-themed pins on the sides for "bag-like embellishment." The laces are a dark, off-white and the white soles appear dirty, though they are brand new. The sneakers appear to be inspired by Chanel's On the Pavement messenger bag, a part of the designer's Graffiti Collection, first introduced in 2014. The messenger bag, which is only available for high-dollar resale prices online, features the same spraypainted, muddled brown coloring, multicolored tweed detailing, vintage-style pins and overall distressed apperance. A version of the messenger bag is available on the Sotheby's website for $15,150. Vans brushed off comparisons in a statement to USA TODAY, saying the shoes were rooted in its creative branding. What are people saying? On Instagram, some of the comments on a vague Vans Instagram post promoting the sneaker's launch July 30, criticized the shoe's design. "I want 'em and get the reference. Very good creative direction, but take one step back and they do lowkey look like barf," one Instagram user commented on the Vans' post. Other creators and social media users are upset that the shoes were sold in such a limited run, with the sneakers going live on the Vans' website, and available in some retail stores, ahead of the date and time Vans promoted on social media – 9 a.m. ET on July 31. Back to school: Top shoe deals from Hoka, Rothy's, Nike and more Vans in its statement told USA TODAY that the official launch of the sneaker was July 31. The pre-worn trend Vans is certainly not the first brand to tap into the pre-worn style. Actually, Golden Goose is known for the trend, releasing its popular line of distressed sneakers in 2007, which continue to dominate the "pre-worn" market. Golden Goose's top-selling Super-Star sneaker, which sports a "dirty, scuffed" sole, is nearly $600. In 2021, New Balance released its "Protection Pack," a line of sneakers that appear to have torn fabric. Last year, Puma released a collaborative sneaker with A$AP Rocky called "Inhale Distressed." The $130 sneakers, now sold out, came in a grungy box and appeared covered in grease. And earlier this year, Nike released its Air Force 1 Low in "Dirty Triple White." The $130 sneakers appear dirty, creased and scuffed despite being brand new. Greta Cross is a national trending reporter at USA TODAY. Story idea?

Beyoncé's Levi's jeans ad pulled into Sydney Sweeney backlash

A Beyoncé ad for Levi's jeans is being compared to Sydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle campaign, but other social media users argue the two are far from similar. "Euphoria" star Sweeney is facing backlash as the face of American Eagle's newest campaign. The denim ad and its tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans' drew sharp criticism online with some users accusing the brand of promoting eugenics. In a campaign video, Sweeney lies in a full denim ensemble as she leans into wordplay: "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue." The camera then shows Sweeney's blue eyes before a message reads, "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans." The criticism wasn't about the denim itself, but the language used. Social media users argued the phrase 'great genes' paired with a blond-haired, blue-eyed star echoed eugenic ideas — the discredited belief in improving humanity through selective breeding. Some also argued it contributed to the glorification of whiteness. Eventually, Beyoncé's recent Levi's campaign, where she poses in a similar position in a denim-on-demin outfit with blond hair, was dragged into the discourse. One user wrote, "So Beyoncé can pose in Levi jeans and it's art… But when a white woman does it, it's a national crisis?" as she shared a photo of the two ads side-by-side. However, many were quick to point out the differences between the two. Another said, "Just going to leave this pic form Beyoncé Levi's campaign right here for those saying Sydney Sweeney with her blond hair/denim/sultry look is racist..." A user responded, "No one said that, what was said though was that the ad's inference that blonde hair and blue eyes are superior." The Grammy-winning singer announced her collaboration with Levi's last fall. She has since released multiple campaigns with the denim powerhouse. But she has never alluded to genes or genetics, focusing solely on the quality and design of the jeans themselves. One social media user, @dukepege, takes this notion a step deeper: "At what point will it be fully understood that proclaiming or implying 'my genes (jeans) are better' is frightening to any race who's ancestors for long generations have had to suffer at the hands of the very same race of people with the same kind of thinking — that their genes are superior?" He added, "No, such statements are not benign; they are echoes of a violent and dehumanizing history and the fact that you involve Beyoncé explains very well how you're still unable to comprehend what's being felt." The conversation comes after Beyoncé was baselessly pulled into another controversy when President Donald Trump accused her of being paid $11 million to endorse Kamala Harris' presidential bid — a payment the the Federal Election Commission has no record of. The Grammy-winning singer concluded her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour in Las Vegas on July 26. The 32-stop stadium tour became the highest grossing country tour, earning over $400 million.

Golden State Warriors release Stephen Curry career dunks highlight package

When you think of Stephen Curry, you think of his amazing shooting ability, you think of him turning away as soon as a shot leaves his hands, or, you think of his night-night celebration. Curry has become synonymous with 3-point shooting, and in turn, he's helped lead the Golden State Warriors to four NBA championships. However, Curry is more than just a 3-point assassin. He's also a solid playmaker, an inverted screener, and can get to the rim at will. What you don't think about, though, is the different dunks he's had throughout his career. Curry jamming the rock home is always an afterthought, primarily because of how rarely it happens. On July 23, the Warriors' YouTube account decided to remind the world that Curry can throw the rock down when the time is right. It pieced together footage from every dunk he's made in his career and posted it as a 4-minute and 37-second highlight reel, allowing fans to relive some of the more explosive moments of his career. You can watch the full highlight reel by clicking on the embedded video above. This post originally appeared on Warriors Wire! Follow us on Facebook and Twitter!
