....more Marvel casting!

[selenak]

After Marvel delighted me already by casting Krysten "Jane from Breaking Bad" Ritter as Jessica Jones and Lemond Bishop's actor as Luke Cage, I now hear they've hired David Tennant to play the Purple Man. The main villain in Jessica's life or rather backstory. Now this isn't a casting I'd have thought of, but wow. Never mind the snide tone in the article (obviously the writer hasn't read the Alias comics), that guy is the creep of creeps, and calls for an unafraid and unvain performance, which I have no doubt DT can deliver.

It's such a delight to see this casting, it really is. All of it. I was on the fence about excitement until they cast Ritter, and it just keeps getting better.

This assembling of actors who've impressed me before made me go from cautious "we'll see how it turns out" to "yes please!", too. That, and Agent Carter being so good.

I am trying to restrain myself from posting a very coarse response to this casting based on my continued resentment of what happened to Donna.

I appreciate your restraint.

I read about this casting and was immediately terrified! Tennant is a surprising but excellent choice for such a creepy role.

[selenak]

Indeed. The casting so far is really filling me with confidence this will be a good series!

They'd have to cast an especially fluffy bunny for the mention of the Purple Man alone not to make me flinch.

[lilacsigil]

This is true, but Tennant is especially scary!

He will make a terrifying Killgrave! I am really looking forward to this series!

[selenak]

Me too!
