David Tennant spoke to Peoples Choice on the purple carpet at the world premiere of Marvel's Jessica Jones in New York last week, The thirteen part series enjoyed a star studded launch event, attended by all key cast members ahead of its worldwide launch on Netflix last Friday.

David first considered the challenge of playing the villain. He stars as Kilgrave in Jessica Jones, a monstrous individual with little regard for the lives of others, and the titular Jessica's tormentor. 

"It's great to walk in many different alleys," he said. "If it's a good script, whether it's heroes or villains or anything else, that's the challenge and that's what you look forward to."

He was also asked to name his favourite episode of the season. David had not the completed episode at that point, but based on the script alone he nominated episode 9, AKA Sin Bin. 

"The story takes such a left turn and it's so brilliantly written," he explained.
