In a bit of surprising news, Entertainment Weekly has seemingly confirmed that Kilgrave, the Jessica Jones villain played by David Tennant, will be returning for the second season of the show.
Now, OBVIOUS SPOILERS for those who haven’t watched it yet!
For those of you who are still here, you already know that Kilgrave was killed at the end of the show – so this is a little surprising.
Here’s the picture – courtesy of EW:
We wouldn’t exactly be surprised if this were the case -as Marvel has shown time and time again that they aren’t afraid to change things up – or bring back a character that was previously thought to be dead.
This picture could also just mean that he’s there for flashbacks only.
We’ll see Jessica Jones next in The Defenders – which apparently, will only be a ‘one-off show’ – according to Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page):
“I think it’s also good to remember that Defenders, because we’re bringing everybody together, it’s a little bit of a one-off, for lack of a better word. It’s going to kind of come together, solve this one big problem, and then you know we all have to go back to our own shows, so we don’t want to spend too much time of The Defenders kind of working on our interpersonal stuff. It’ll be interesting, and we’ll definitely address it, but you’re probably looking for Daredevil Season 3 in order for a really strong resolution to that stuff.”
Maybe Kilgrave has an appearance in The Defenders?
We’ll just have to wait and see.
