First look at David Tennant filming Marvel series A.K.A. Jessica Jones
I don't know if it's been posted on here that David Tennant features as the villainous Kilgrave in Marvel's upcoming series 'AKA Jessica Jones'.
I've done a forum search and I can't find a thread about it on here, so I'm sorry if somebody has already posted this. http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-...-jessica-jones http://screencrush.com/netflix-jessi...le-man-photos/ Anyway, there's some photos of him on set. |

![]() Maybe they may make his skin purple by using post special effects? They did that in X Men First class for the character called Azazel. Or it may be one of those things where they felt that some adaptions from comics just wouldn't work onscreen. I guess that's why some superheroes costumes are toned down for films and TV series. |

Maybe what happens to make him Purple hasn't happened yet? I'm not clear on Jessica Jones lore.

Mind you I'm not sure that they will make his face purple. They probably won't bother. |

Marvel generally never tone down. And rightly so. If David Tennant isn't purple, then this series will be dissapointing IMO. It's purple Tennant or bust.

So you're saying that if David Tennants character has human skin it'll be a disappointing show? Sure, it could be a personal disappointment in regards to the character but if Daredevil was anything to go by the show will still be exceptional.

Yes. The Purple Man needs purple (as opposed to pink flesh) skin.

Given the way the Marvel Netflix TV shows appear to be being presented, a man with purple skin would look unbelievably out of place anyway. I'm only halfway through Daredevil, but it seems quite grounded and realistic as opposed to the worlds of Iron Man and Thor, for example. So long as David Tennant nails the role, which I am certain he will, then everythings fine by me. |

Why? If Iron Man puts on an iron suit, why can't Purple Man wear a purple suit?

He looks great as is. No need for purple skin.

Err... not wishing to assume the role of Forum Police, but what has any of this got to do with Doctor Who?
I get that he used to be in the programme, but so was Bernard Cribbins. Is it cool if I start a thread on The Wombles? |

Iron Man has always had a iron suit. The Purple Man is supposed to be unnaturally purple skinned.

"Supposed to be"?
If you're going to include a comic book character who is called the purple man because of his purple skin then why adapt him for film to be called the purple man without purple skin? The change would only serve to distance the character from the character he is representing. Marvel haven't been overly revisionist in the past. The Hulk is still green, the Kree are still gray, the Thing is orange and covered in rocks, the Beast is still blue and covered with fur. |

During the mission, he was accidentally doused with a chemical that turned his hair and skin purple.
No doubt they are planning on showing how he gets turned purple on the show, meaning there will be scenes from before he turns purple.Plus I seriously doubt Iron Mans suit is actually made from Iron. Quote:

I thought they are blue?

In the same way that the Hulk is supposed to be Green, sure, why not?

With Daredevil, it was as much an origin story for Kingpin. I'd expect the same for this. There is absolutely no need for him to be purple from the beginning. |

He wasn't born purple. Something happened (chemicals spill) caused it to happen.
