Former Doctor Who star Pearl Mackie thinks it’s about time that a non-binary actor plays the Time Lord ahead of Jodie Whittaker’s departure.
With Whittaker leaving Doctor Who behind in 2022, there’s been plenty of speculation about who will be at the controls of the Tardis next.
Mackie, who starred opposite Peter Capaldi as the Doctor’s first openly gay companion Bill Potts in the tenth season, weighed in on who she’d like to see take on the role. She told the Telegraph there was “so much room for change” as the Doctor’s regenerations “allow the show to move with the times. In fact, I think it would be great to have someone non-binary playing the part.”
