Who Will Play Doctor Who Next? Top 4 Candidates According To Twitter
With Jodie Whittaker's Doctor Who reign coming to an end and recent BBC news about the looming reveal of 14th Doctor, fans are once again discussing their best candidates for the prestigious position.
Without further ado, here are the 4 best Doctor Who fan castings according to Twitter:
Richard Ayoade
'The IT Crowd' star is the most talked about casting choice for Doctor Who. Beloved actor and entertainer is incredibly popular in the UK, and his many appearances in various films, series and TV shows only increase his prominent stature among British viewers. Ayoade's nerdy vibe would be perfect for Doctor Who, and many fans argue that his casting is the only sensible choice to save the franchise.
Lydia West
The star of last-year hit 'It's a Sin' already worked with two 'Doctor Who' showrunners (Steven Moffat and Russel T. Davies), so her position as one of the favorites for the role has a solid foundation. Of course, West is just beginning her acting career, and perhaps the BBC would prefer someone more experienced for the role of the 14th Doctor.
Regé-Jean Page
'Bridgerton ' mega-star is having a great moment right now, with many famous characters being linked to him – think James Bond rumors or potential 'Black Panther' casting. Page may not find 'Doctor Who' as exciting a choice as his fans would like, but his handsomeness and effortless charisma will surely make him one of the most unusual Doctors to date.
Olly Alexander
Yet another 'It's a Sin' alum, this time it's breakout star Ollie Alexander. Rumors that he might play the Doctor surfaced as early as last summer, but fans are still divided on this casting call. Many support him journeying in the TARDIS, while others are sure it would bury the BBC franchise for good. If Alexander is cast as Doctor Who, he will be the first LGBTQ+ main character in show's history.
