It’s not this idealized version of what superhero characters are, as much as it’s about these nuanced, complicated characters. I think what’s so great about what Marvel does is, it’s always about the man behind the mask.

TAYLOR: Just that I think it’s an important and relatable series for both women and men.
It’s really a contained relationship drama at its core, but there are some fruity science-fiction strands in there.ĪX: And what would you most like people to know about JESSICA JONES? TAYLOR: It’s a really different character to Trish Walker, so that’s a nice thing, to be able to mix it up. Rachael Taylor in JESSICA JONES | ©2019 Netflix/MarvelĪX: What can you say about the Netflix telefilm ARQ? There are layers of different complexities in there, there are layers of jealousy and co-dependency. I think Melissa has just done such a masterful job of bringing female characters to life in a nuanced and complex way. I learned a lot from her character, based on her occupation choice.ĪX: Are you happy about JESSICA JONES being a show that passes the Bechdel test, meaning that it’s got women talking together about something other than men? I think she wants to give a voice to people. And I think that really speaks to her – she’s got this altruistic streak, in a way. And what an interesting choice for someone who’s so used to being in the public eye, to then decide to go and have radio be her medium. I think it actually has some really interesting character implications, because obviously, Trish Walker used to be a child star. Do you enjoy playing that aspect of her, or were you going, “Oh, I never wanted to wind up being a talk show host, and now I’m doing it”? Today’s a good day.ĪX: Trish is a talk show host. Obviously, I feel incredibly grateful and excited, and really I felt from the beginning, because of Melissa Rosenberg’s amazing pilot script that this was really a game-changer for me. We caught up briefly with Taylor to talk to her about her time as Trish, before the series’ cancellation was announced.ĪSSIGNMENT X: How is it being part of a Marvel superhero series? Like the rest of Netflix’s series based in the MARVEL’S DEFENDERS-verse, JESSICA JONES was canceled in 2019, due to Disney’s merger with the Marvel brand and the advent of Disney+. Netflix also cast Taylor to star in its original science-fiction telefilm ARQ.

Taylor, originally from Tasmania, has also starred in PARK AVENUE 666 and the short-lived TV reboot of CHARLIE’S ANGELS, and appeared in films including RED DOG, TRANSFORMERS, SHUTTER, and FINDING STEVE McQUEEN.
Rachael Taylor plays Jessica’s best friend Trish Walker, a former child actress turned radio talk show host, who develops superpowers of her own and takes on the nomme-de-savior Hellcat at the end of JESSICA JONES Season 2. JESSICA JONES concerns a virtually indestructible woman, played by Krysten Ritter, who is a private detective in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen by trade and a reluctant superhero by nature. MARVEL’S JESSICA JONES is now streaming the entirety of its made-for-Netflix three seasons on that network. Rachael Taylor and Krysten Ritter in JESSICA JONES | ©2019 Netflix/Marvel
