New York Comic Con News:  At the NYCC Marvel’s Head of Television Jeph Loeb revealed that the character that Carrie Anne Moss will play on the Netflix Jessica Jones series will be a gender-swapped version of Jeryn Hogarth, an old friend and ally of Danny Rand (aka Iron Fist).

Created by John Byrne and Chris Claremont, Jeryn Hogarth was introduced in Iron Fist #6 in August of 1976 as a friend of Iron Fist’s father.  He became the attorney for Heroes for Hire, the detection and protection business owned by Luke Cage (Power Man) and Danny Rand (Iron Fist).

Also at the NYCC, actor Wil Traval told IGN that he would be playing a man named Simpson, a post-Vietnam super-soldier turned hardnosed cop, whose “my way or the highway” tactics make him into a major antagonist, on the Jessica Jones series.  It appears that Traval will be playing a somewhat modified version of Frank Simpson, the psychotic result of the super-soldier program, who is better known to Marvel readers as the Daredevil villain “Nuke,” a pill-popping menace with an American flag tattooed across his face who was hired by the Kingpin to kill Daredevil, and who made his first appearance in 1986 in Daredevil #232 by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli.

Netflix has also been ramping up interest in the Jessica Jones series, which debuts on Netflix on November 20, by releasing a steady stream of video teasers and trailers (see “Someone’s Watching Jessica Jones,” and “A Midnight Stroll for Jessica Jones”).
