David Tennant Will Not Return For Jessica Jones’ Final Season
As fans prepare for the upcoming third and final season of the acclaimed Netflix Marvel drama Jessica Jones, Entertainment Weekly has brought word that one of the key things to be prepared for is the lack of the menacing Kilgrave aka Purple Man portrayed by David Tennant.
EW recently sat down with the 47-year-old Doctor Who veteran to discuss the streaming service’s cancellation of the show and during their discussion he confirmed that Kilgrave will not appear in the third season and talked on his feelings of the show’s ending.
“I don’t really regard it as a cancellation so much as something having the life that it should have,” Tennant said. “Three seasons of that story is great. Rather than thinking of it as something that was canceled, I think of it as something that had three seasons that will live in the memory.”
Though Tennant’s smooth-talking villain was killed at the end of the first season by Krysten Ritter’s titular hero, he reappeared in the second season for brief appearances in the latter half of the second season in a hallucinatory matter to Jones.
