    “Jessica Jones”: David Tennant Joining Marvel’s Netflix Series

    Mary Anne ButlerBy No Comments

    If you are both a Doctor Who and Marvel fan, I’ve got some great news for you!  Break out the pinstripe suits and white converse hightops, the 10th Doctor is joining Netflix series Marvel’s AKA Jessica Jones.

    Tennant will be playing Zebediah Killgrave, The Purple Man.  He was first introduced as a villain opposing Daredevil, but moved books to terrorize Jessica Jones and Luke Cage.  His body produces pheromones which allow him to verbally control the actions of others, making him a violet-tinged puppetmaster, if you will.  The character has even shown up as a protagonist for the X-men on occasion.
