David Tennant wowed crowds at this weekend’s MCM Comic Con. At a special panel to honour the guest, the star of Marvel’s Jessica Jones was asked about future roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He said, “I think in terms of supervillains, I got the best one with Kilgrave.” He went on to say, “I did slightly have my eye on Reed Richards, and unfortunately, it looks like they’ve gone in a different direction, although if it has to be someone, I’m very happy for it to be Pedro Pascal.”

The Doctor Who star was also asked about his past work as a Time Lord. He told the crowds, “Doctor Who is the kind of show that imprints on you as a child, and if it gets its hooks into you like it did to me, it doesn’t really let go.”

“There’s something about being caught up in the magic of those stories when it first grabs you, and when it takes you on that journey through time and space, it does live with you forever.”

In response to questions about where he’d visit using the TARDIS, he said,  “Well, we got to go to Shakespeare’s Globe, which was very exciting; I always wanted to do that. The only one I wanted to go back to was the Cavern and see The Beatles when they were brand new, but they’ve sort of done that; that was the box that got ticked after I’d left. Listen, there’s loads of opportunities, aren’t there, and that’s one of the joys of this show is that it’s got of stories left to tell.”

Tennant left the crowd hanging with cryptic statements about future roles that would delight attendees of MCM Comic Con London.
