Jessica Jones Season 2 Set Photos Tease Kilgrave’s ‘Haunting’ Return

It was announced earlier this week that David Tennant would return to torment Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) as the villain Killgrave in the upcoming second season of the Netflix series. Now new set photos are teasing just how David Tennant’s bad guy returns.

Tennant’s Kilgrave cemented his place as one of the darkest villains in Netflix’s Marvel offerings by using his mind control powers to torture Jessica Jones and very nearly completely destroy her life before, at the end of season one, she snapped the villain’s neck. That sort of thing usually means their reign of terror ends, but in the set pictures that have popped up on Twitter, Kilgrave appears to still be in Jessica’s head, yelling at Jessica and Eka Darville‘s Malcom.

Check out the photos below and read on for how Kilgrave might return to the series.

Kilgrave’s Ghost?

Fans have speculated on how Tennant’s Kilgrave would return, with the sadistic villain coming back as a ghost, a too-real memory, or even simply as a voice in Jessica’s head all being possibilities. The photos suggest that any of those could be real, especially since both Jessica and Malcom seem to be largely ignoring Kilgrave as though he isn’t even there, though Malcom appears to be having a harder time with that than Jessica.

Jessica Jones Season Two hasn’t been given a release date, but fans can catch up with the alcoholic detective in The Defenders on Netflix this Friday, August 18th.
