The cast for Marvel’s AKA Jessica Jones has added another genre stalwart to its ranks, with the news that Carrie-Ann Moss – aka Trinity from the Matrix trilogy – will be joining as a potential ally for Jessica.

According to the official Marvel release, “Moss plays a no-nonsense woman who could prove a powerful ally to Jessica…if Jessica doesn’t completely alienate her first.”

“Throughout her career, Carrie-Anne has embodied a wide range of characters in a compelling and relatable way and I have no doubt she will bring that talent to A.K.A. Jessica Jones,” showrunner Melissa Rosenberg explained, with Jeph Loeb adding,  “Carrie-Anne has proven her ability to play complex characters with deep and layered inner lives. Her interaction with Jessica Jones will be one of the many highlights of the series.”

Moss joins  Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones), David Tennant (Kilgrave), Mike Colter (Luke Cage), and Rachael Taylor (Patricia “Trish” Walker) in the Netflix show, expected to start later this year.
