Now that’s a misleading title, isn’t it? But I’m trying my hand at Internet headline trickery today with the news that David Tennant has been cast as the Purple Man in the upcoming Jessica Jones show on Netflix.

I wonder if they’ll paint his skin

I’m a big David Tennant fan, so I’m sure he’ll be particularly awesome in the role. I never read the original Alias story for Jessica Jones, but the Purple Man is particularly evil. He’s got the super-power to control other people like puppets with nothing but his mind…and those kinds of powers get pretty intense and evil in an R-rated story. We’ll see how far Marvel and Netflix want to go with Jessica Jones.
