Despite a Tweet from Jessica Jones showrunner Melissa Rosenberg leading to speculation that the third and final season of the Marvel/Netflix show would see the return of the villainous Kilgrave, David Tennant himself has now confirmed that he will not be reprising the role.
The actor revealed that we wouldn't be seeing the mind-manipulating baddie again while promoting his new show Good Omens at South by Southwest, while also commenting on the show's recent cancellation.
“I don’t really regard it as a cancellation so much as something having the life that it should have,” said Tennant. “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.”
Kilgrave was actually killed off in the season 1 finale of Jessica Jones, but did return in season 2 as one of the hard-drinking PI's delusions - although Jones appeared to have exorcised that particular demon by the end of S2 so, really, another comeback wouldn't have made much sense anyway.
Tell us, are you disappointed to learn that Tennant won't be back as Kilgrave? Drop us a comment down below.
