Marvel's Jessica Jones: 5 Ways Kilgrave Could Return In Season 2

1. A Genuine Resurrection

Admittedly the most unlikely option, but one that should be considered nonetheless.

The Purple Man of the comics was, after all, gifted with an extraordinary healing factor, and had been dealt some heavy punishment over the years from the likes of Jessica and Luke Cage. He's also come out of the other end of a train collision unscathed, so it's not hard to imagine that he survived a little old neck-break.

Well, that is unless the Kilgrave of the MCU isn't gifted with the same attributes as his comic book counterpart. If he is, well, there's a good chance that a full-blown resurrection is on the cards. If he isn't, then a more figurative return is what Marvel will more than likely have in mind,

Regardless, it's pretty great to hear that Tennant's character will be making a return to the show, especially since he managed to rival Vincent D'Onofrio's turn as Wilson Fisk in both seasons of Daredevil.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
