Carrie-Anne Moss Joins Marvel/Netflix's AKA Jessica Jones

Marvel has announced another cast member for it's AKA Jessica Jones series, and this time, it's Carrie-Anne Moss. Best known for playing Trinity in the Matrix Series, Moss is a favorite for her appearances in diverse fare like Silent Hill and Memento. She joins David Tennant, Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, and Rachel Taylor as the cast for this new series continues to fill out.

Marvel didn't provide a name or a description for Moss's character, but their head of television, Jeph Loeb, did have the following to say:

“Carrie-Anne has proven her ability to play complex characters with deep and layered inner lives,” said Jeph Loeb, Executive Producer/Marvel’s Head of Television. “Her interaction with Jessica Jones will be one of the many highlights of the series.”

AKA Jessica Jones will be the second Marvel-produced series to hit Netflix, after Daredevil arrives on April 10th of this year. Netflix will also produce series for Luke Cage and Iron Fist, all leading up to a team up of all four shows in the Defenders mini-series.

David Tennant joins cast of Marvel's new series "A.K.A. Jessica Jones" for Netflix

It's just been announced that David Tennant - yes! The Doctor - will be joining the cast of Marvel's new series for Netflix titled "A.K.A. Jessica Jones."

A former super-hero trying to rebuild her life as a private detective, Jessica Jones keeps getting drawn into cases involving people with unusual abilities. David Tennant is cast as her nemesis Killgrave - a villain from her past, he pops up again to wreak havoc in her new life.

In the comics,  Killgrave was the real name of the Purple Man, a villain with mind control powers who used them to dominate Jessica and make her into his personal slave for months - one of the main reasons she quit being a superhero.

As any fan of David Tennant's incarnation of The Doctor will tell you, he will be able to pull this off with no problem. My prediction is that he will most likely play this as a "wolf in sheep's clothing" thing - we KNOW he's evil, but he's just so damn likable!
