Jodie Whittaker, the first woman to play the lead in Doctor Who starting in 2018, has expressed a strong desire to return to the show whenever possible. The two-time Satellite Awards nominee recently discussed her surprise reappearance as the Thirteenth Doctor in Doctor Who Season 15, and shared that she’d welcome another opportunity like it.
Jodie Whittaker ‘wouldn’t hesitate’ to return for Doctor Who
The Broadchurch star shared that she would be happy to reprise her role as Doctor Who if given the chance. She indicated she’s open to the possibility of returning to the Doctor Who universe.
Speaking with The Times UK about returning to her role as the time-travelling Doctor in Season 15, Jodie Whittaker shared, “I was thrilled that my costume still fit! As soon as I arrived in Cardiff – the main location where the show is filmed – I instantly felt at home, even though we were using a new studio and a different Tardis. It really is pure joy to be part of Doctor Who.”
Whittaker then discussed the possibility of returning to the popular sci-fi series. She explained, “If, in 20 years, someone offered me an episode where the Thirteenth Doctor reappeared, I wouldn’t think twice. It would be pure joy.”
The English actress, 43, first appeared in Doctor Who in 2018, becoming the first woman to play the famous character. However, choosing her as the 13th Doctor caused a lot of negative reactions from many fans, who didn’t approve of the change. It was a controversial decision, and a significant part of the fanbase didn’t react positively. The change was met with resistance.
As a huge Doctor Who fan, I have to admit Jodie Whittaker’s first season got off to a really rough start. There was a lot of talk – and not the good kind – surrounding her taking on the role of the Doctor. Honestly, the initial reaction from fans was pretty terrible, and it showed in the ratings – it only scored a 20% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. It was a tough beginning, to say the least.
Acknowledging the varied responses to her being cast, Whittaker explained, “Someone had to be the first, and I didn’t fully grasp that at the time. I’m not like Jack Lemmon in Some Like It Hot: ‘I’m a girl, I’m a girl!’ I simply am who I am. However, once the announcement was made-along with some negative reactions-many people felt it was a truly positive moment.”
Whether Jodie Whittaker will reprise her role as Doctor Who on television is still unknown. However, she is presently the star of an audio drama series called Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures. It’s a great way for fans to continue enjoying her portrayal, even if it’s not on screen. This series offers a continuation of her adventures.
