The Defenders: 10 Actresses To Play Jessica Jones

10. Mila Kunis

mila kunis Stop yawning. I know Kunis is a very predictable choice, but you can't really have a list of possible actresses for a brunette comic book character these days without Mila Kunis. Especially since Natalie Portman already has a part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and so can't really be included in these lists. To be fair, Kunis hasn't done any live action television work for a while. But Kevin Spacey does House of Cards and doesn't exactly do a lot of television himself. The possibility of an unusual filming timetable might allow for film actors to appear in the various Defenders television series and of course with the eventual possibility of appearances in the Marvel films would be tempting. But of course, if you were Kunis, would you try to hold out for a cinematic release role instead? I think it would depend entirely on the quality of the Jessica Jones scripts. So why would Kunis be a good choice? Well for one, she's a known commodity. Daredevil will have it easiest in drawing in viewers as he's the best known out of the three, having had the Ben Affleck film and all. Heroes for Hire... well it might have it a little difficult, but it has a guy who does martial arts and really, they just need to blow something up and have Luke Cage walk out unscathed with his shirt off €“ it'll get viewers. Jessica Jones will be the hardest to sell to the non-comic reader. So having a well-known actress attached to the project will help enormously.
