Jessica Jones may not be free from the Purple Man just yet! David Tennant has expressed his interest in reprising his iconic role in the MCU.
David Tenant made a splash as Zebediah Kilgrave in Marvel’s Netflix shows, often being considered the best villain to come out of the six shows. With characters like Jessica Jones now officially canon to the MCU, fans have been wondering if it’d be possible for Tenant to return as the Purple Man in a potential revival. According to the actor, he would love to return to the world of capes and cowls.
“I’d love to do Kilgrave again, yeah Kilgrave would be great,” Tennant explained at the BAFTAs. “Yeah, that would be good wouldn’t it? I mean…he did very much get his neck broken, he was very dead…but never say never in the Marvel Universe.”
It wouldn’t even be the first time David Tennant returned as Purple Man despite being dead. The actor returned as Kilgrave in Jessica Jones season 2 as a hallucination haunting the titular hero. It’s also possible for Tennant to return in flashbacks, especially if Kilgrave’s kids are introduced in the MCU. Nothing is ever truly off the table when it comes to superheroes.
