17 Doctor Who Actors Who Appeared in Marvel Films

By Christian Bone /

5. David Tennant

Yes, David Tennant€™s upcoming role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe won€™t actually be seen in, well, the cinema but it would be remiss to not include him on this list. The beloved Tenth Doctor actor€™s career has recently received a new boost from his role as DI Alec Hardy in popular crime drama Broadchurch, and it looks like it will get another, as he is slated to appear in Marvel€™s latest Netflix TV series AKA Jessica Jones. Tennant will play the mysterious Kilgrave. In the comics, Killgrave (notice the extra l) is the real name of the Purple Man, a supervillain who can make people do his bidding and the nemesis of heroine Jessica Jones. There€™s no word yet on whether Tennant will actually be painted up like Barney the Dinosaur for the role.
