First Look at the Return of Killgrave in JESSICA JONES Season 2
A few months ago, we learned that David Tennant would be reprising his role as Killgrave (or the Purple Man) in the second season of Jessica Jones. Now we have a photo depicting a scene from the show thanks to EW.
The image shows a disturbed Jessica (Krysten Ritter) looking at something with Killgrave lurking right there beside her. There’s still no detail as to what role Killgrave will have in the second season since he was killed at the end of the first one, but my guess is that he will visit Jessica in stress-induced hallucinations. When talking about Killgrave, showrunner Melissa Rosenberg says:
“He’s such a part of her construction and her dilemma. I think just having him come back and be that mirror again is really important.”
Ritter goes on to talk about where Jessica's head is at when Season 2 picks up:
“Jessica is in a pretty dark headspace when we meet her at the top of season 2. What we’ve done again is kept the story very personal. If season 1 was in her head and in her mind, then this season will be more in her heart. It’s still a psychological thriller, but it’s more of an emotional thriller this time.”
Rosenberg adds:
“She was somewhat of a mess even before Kilgrave came into her life, so [season 2] is about digging deeper into that chaos and peeling back those layers.”
What are your thoughts as to what Killgave's role is in Season 2? Does this picture change any previous theory you may have had?
Jessica Jones season 2 is currently scheduled for a 2018 release.
