Doctor WhoJodie Whittaker, the current star and Doctor Jodie Whittaker, is to be said goodbye. Her successoras the next Doctor in the franchise. So far, we’ve only gotten suggestions from alumni on Who should play the role?, and while that’s not often accurate to the final pick, I’m really hoping the latest suggestion turns out to be the next Doctor. Anjli Mhindra, actress, recently suggested that a particular star be taken from The Walking Dead franchise should get the role, and I’m absolutely all about it.
Anjli Mohindra had a brief role in Doctor WhoAs Queen Skithra, 2020 episode “Nikola Tesla’s Night Of Terrors,”Fans know her mainly for her role in Rani Chandra’s spinoff series, though The Sarah Jane Adventures. Mohindra spoke to Digital Spy about who she’d most like to see play The Doctor following Jodie Whittaker’s exit, and while bringing up some popular picks, she offered a left-field suggestion that I’m shocked hasn’t come up sooner.
Many of the people I would love to see in that role are already part of the Whoniverse. Lydia West is a fan favourite. Lennie James would be an incredible actor, I think. Although I don’t know how many people think of him, I think he would be a great Doctor. Vinette Robinson would be, I believe, a great Doctor.
I’m shocked that this is the first time I’ve heard Lennie James brought up, but not at all surprised Anjli Mohindra suggested him. James is a successful actor both overseas and in the United States, although not so big that it’s unrealistic to believe he could play Doctor Who’s next Doctor. If Doctor WhoLennie James became its CEO First Black male doctorI believe that I and many others would be thrilled with the choice of the franchise.
Now, I legitimately wonder if it is possible to have this conversation. Doctor WhoLennie James may consider this option in light of his schedule. Right now, he’s still involved in Fear the Walking Dead, and he’s been part of The Walking DeadSince his 2010 debut, he has been a franchisee. It’s hard to imagine the Franchise without himAs of late so He leftIt is huge “if.”
Lennie James also appears in the series. Save meThe series, which he wrote, star in, and created, is called. The series will end in 2022 with Season 3. This gives him some breathing room. His character Morgan Jones would die in the hypothetical scenario. Fear the Walking Dead, he’d be in the clear to join Doctor Who. I can’t speak to the odds of that happening, but I can say that him joining Doctor Who as the lead would be the most exciting casting I’ve seen in a while. Hopefully, Anjli Mohindra’s thought manifests in the minds of the BBC’s decision-makers, and we can see this happen.
Doctor Who still has more adventures in store for Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor, but just a couple of specials left in 2022 before her official departure. It will only take a few more days before the official announcement. who’s playing the new Doctor, provided those details don’t leak before then.
