Hayley Atwell wants to play the Doctor on Doctor Who

It’s no secret that Peter Capaldi is a fan of the Third Doctor, played from 1970-1974 by Jon Pertwee. Casting Atwell as the Doctor could change things up and, since she has an incredibly devoted fanbase from her Marvel Studios work, she seems like she could be a serious contender. I already know someone who’s interested in the gig.

“[These] two are exceptional! The first part features Vikings fighting mercenary robots (and a dragon!) and the second one sees a group of Highwaymen dealing with a Norse god”. Well, it’s beginning to look more and more likely that The Doctor will one day be portrayed by a female. We’ve been planning this forever and Osgood is in it! Missy killed her! Who knows?

Maybe it’s the truly creepy villain that plays into not only our fear of the unknown-as we can’t ever truly see their attacks coming by their very nature-but also takes an ordinary object that might creep us out in the dark and makes it truly horrifying.

Does this mean the “Doctor Who” Season 9 finale will revisit this timeline? It wasn’t possible to do such an episode ten years ago, when the show came back and Mark has been rewriting it over and over again to make it ideal. “Really, this is going to be a fan-favorite, everyone will want to rewatch it”. If you’re not reading the subtext, then I’ll lend you. Capaldi will return in Doctor Who Series 9, premiering September 19. All 13 incarnations of the Doctor (yes, we’re including the Hurt Doctor) have been male, and current showrunner Steven Moffat has been vocal about his objection to seeing a woman in the role.
