David Tennant 'I'd never heard of Jessica Jones!'

David Tennant admits that despite being a Marvel comics fan, he'd never heard of Jessica Jones before getting the part on the Netflix series, but has since become a fan of the 'Alias' comic series.

Tennant also talks about his love of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as the original Incredible Hulk series. David also talks about returning to the role of The Doctor for the latest Big Finish Doctor Who audio adventure.

Jessica Jones is the latest Marvel & Netflix production and follows up on the critical and commercial success of Daredevil. Krysten Ritter (Breaking Bad, Don't Trust The B---- in Apartment 23) stars as Jessica Jones, a former superhero who opens her own detective agency after the end to her superhero career. The series is from showrunner Melissa Rosenberg, writer of the the Twilight Saga films.

Season 1 of 'Jessica Jones' is available on Netflix from 20th November 2015.
