With the release of Echo in January, fans of the MCU are all but convinced that their favorite street-level vigilantes are canon in teh MCU, thanks to Daredevil’s inclusion in the show. David Tennant’s Killgrave, therefore, is also canon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he is allegedly not opposed to returning to the role.
The Purple Man/ Killgrave
Being physically a part of Season 1 while appearing as a figment of Jessica’s imagination after his demise, Tenant has revealed that there might be a way to bring his version of Killgrave back to the screen. Now, with the hows entrenched in the MCU, and the street-level vigilantes having found their “Thanos” in Wilson Fisk, Tennant’s Killgrave would make an excellent secondary villain, while also being a return to form for Jessica Jones.

The members of the audience who loved Jessica Jones during its successful run in the past might also remember the character of The Purple Man, a.k.a Kilgrave, played expertly by actor David Tennant. In fact, for many of the fans of the show, this antagonist may have been one of the most memorable parts of the series.
David Tennant as Kilgrave in a still from Jessica Jones
And despite the character being taken out of the equation in the series for good, the actor has time and time again expressed his desire to return to his role in the MCU. Yet again, the start has revealed how he would love to return as Kilgrave in the future, but this time, it seems highly likely that the star might make a return in the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again under the Devil’s Reign storyline that will truly honor his character.

In House of the Dragon, Matt Smith practically walks away with every scene he’s in. Only Milly Alcock really gives him a run for his money, but even then, they elevate each other’s performances rather than distracting from them.
But even so, there is something familiar about Daemon Targaryen. The mirthless laughter. The smile that only reaches just below the eyes. The way he seems mildly amused at being threatened, and enjoys nothing more than a really good nemesis. Viewers who have seen Smith as Doctor Who’s Eleventh Doctor will recognize a lot of the old notes.
This isn’t the first time he’s done this. We won’t speculate as to whether Jared Leto slept upside down, drank only human blood or tried to navigate by echolocation to prepare for his role in Morbius, but throughout the film he’s consistently outperformed by Matt Smith...

Welcome to the fourth installment of our new column 100 Word Hits, in association with comics retailer The Unreality Store, in which Matthew De Monti brings us short, sharp reviews of the latest books to hit comic stores over the past month or so!
The Variants #1 Written by Gail Simone | Art by Phil Noto
Jessica Jones is having blackouts and doesn’t know why. Matt Murdock is pressuring her to help a former victim of her arch nemesis, the Purple Man. Hammerhead and his goons are squeezing the owner of her favourite coffee shop for protection money and that’s just for starters. In court Murdock is trying to help Maria Snyder convince the judge the Purple Man told her to burn her house down (with her family still inside) and Jessica learns that he may still be just as much of a threat to her. And then multiple variants of Jessica turn up!

Oh look, it’s another ‘event’ book. Soon monthly books will probably cease to exist, considering how many of these event books both Marvel and DC pump out these days. Not a criticism, as publishers will just follow what the consumer wants. In the early days, mini-series were a nice side dish, a treat, to have alongside your monthly fix of Spider-Man or Batman. Now, monthly books seem very much secondary, with relatively low readership figures. Big event books, however, always get a readership bump, and therefore the publisher makes money, and everyone’s happy. The only problem for me with that model is you have to keep upping the ante with each mini-series, or finding some angle that’s not been explored, and that gets more difficult every year. Will this be the event that jumps the shark?...

I’ve always loved Jessica Jones, ever since her first appearance back in 2001. (Nineteen years?! where did that go) Her original series, Alias, was created by Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Gaydos, with fab David Mack covers, and is still well worth a read today. She was created for the mature reader Max imprint and although since she has strayed into mainstream Marvel Avengers books, which tone her down a little too much, I’m pleased to see here she is back to her mature readers only roots. I haven’t kept up with every book she has been in, due to Marvel’s continual issuing of first issues and even putting her back in her costume, but usually things end up righting themselves, and this book looks like the one to do it.
