Marvel courted yet another former “Doctor Who” actor to play a villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Previously, the 9th “Doctor Who” actor Christopher Eccleston was courted to play Malekith, the main antagonist in Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World”.
This time around, Marvel has locked down the 10th “Doctor Who” actor David Tennant to play another iconic villainous role through an upcoming Netflix series, “A.K.A. Jessica Jones“. While he is working hard to establish himself as an actor outside of the “Doctor Who” franchise, the Scottish actor is set to play the creepy mind-controlling supervillain, Purple Man.
Best known for his role as the 10th Doctor in the BBC hit series “Doctor Who”, Tennant most recently starred in “Broadchurch” and its American adaptation, “Gracepoint”.
Produced by Marvel Television, Marvel’s “A.K.A. Jessica Jones” is a 13-episode series that will be distributed by Netflix in 2015 but it is not known how many episodes Mike Colter has signed to appear in.
