"Having my own show - it's not something that I think of. It's not," she continued. "I think I would choose to do things because they are interesting, because I like a character or because it's very well-written. Or because it makes sense."

An unfortunately for fans of her other show, The Defenders, it looks like season 2 isn't on Marvel's agenda at the moment. Head of television Jeph Loeb shared the news back in June during a Reddit AMA.
