The role of Ingrid was mentioned in a list of Jessica Jones season 2 character breakdowns, with speculation quickly pointing to the character becoming Marvel Comics villain Typhoid Mary. However, with information about Jessica Jones season 2 being kept as tightly under wraps as all Marvel productions, it’s far from confirmed Typhoid Mary will appear, let alone that Ingrid will become the comic book character.
However, we won’t know for sure until closer to season 2’s premiere, or Marvel confirms whether or not Ingrid is Typhoid Mary. In terms of the Jessica Jones season 2 cast, Gibson joins fellow series newcomer Janet McTeer, who was cast in a mystery role earlier this year.
For its part, Jessica Jones season 2 has been filming since this spring, but the latest report about the Netflix series reveals who will be playing a new series regular – and potentially another villain for Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) to fight.
Variety is reporting Jessica Jones has cast Leah Gibson (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) as Ingrid, who is described as a street-wise character with education as a nurse.
