Krysten Ritter's alleged Daredevil: Born Again set photos have sparked a hilarious prank on social media. X handle, @DaredevilUpdates posted pictures of the actress which reportedly was straight from the set of Daredevil: Born Again. As fans started to believe it, the calendar hit them with a reality check, It was April 1.

For those who don't know, Daredevil: Born Again is a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and is rumored to bring back the popular character, Jessica Jones (played by Krysten Ritter) in The Defenders where Daredevil and Jones crossed paths. After Charlie Cox reprised his role as Matt Murdock/Daredevil alongside Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson, fans expected more MCU characters to be introduced.

The April Fool's prank stirred laughter among fans who almost fell for it.

Don’t worry, you’re not alone—tons of people fell for it! These April Fool’s pranks are getting way too realistic.


That was a cruel prank, especially for Daredevil and Jessica Jones fans like @MDUmairKh who’ve been waiting forever for some good news:

"FU man. This is not something to joke about."

@NerdDumb23 remarked about the time difference. Too early for an April Fool's prank?

"Heyyyy it’s still 10pm on the Pacific coast.. ya j*rk!"

We’ve been waiting so long for Jessica Jones (and the rest of the Defenders) to get the comeback they deserve. @DarthHydra13 commented:

"I wanted to believe."

The Internet should give it to @Da_dak_knight for the sharp observation—some are too seasoned for these April Fool’s shenanigans:

"I’ve seen this set photo years ago and it’s after midnight. Nice try."

April Fool's pranks can definitely backfire, especially when it’s about something you’re excited for.


@iustin55 was too excited to let the truth hurt them:

"I DIDNT WANT THIS SPOILED DUDE WTF."

Vincent D’Onofrio has returned as Kingpin in the series which has 18 episodes, and is quite long compared to other Disney+ shows. The series’ name is taken from the popular 1986 ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ comic arc written by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. However, it is not yet certain whether the MCU series will fully adapt the story or not.

Even though this was just a prank, Marvel fans really want to see Jessica Jones back in action! Now, it's up to the Universe to make that wish come true. Would you like to see Krysten Ritter officially return to the MCU?
