Doctor Who BBC is a show in the throes of massive upheaval. Showrunner Steven Moffat, and will be replaced by Broadchurch‘s Chris Chibnall. Moffat might not be the only one saying goodbye though, with confirming his final year as the titular Doctor. This of course has incited all manner of “Who should be the next Doctor?” discussions. For our part, we outlined. While Hayley Atwell is still our first choice for the job, we’d be remiss if we didn’t explore the male suitors as well. It’s a role that requires a handful of qualifications, the first of which is availability.

Peter Capaldi is leaving his role as the Doctor, leaving us to wonder who will fill his shoes once he departs.

If you’re the Doctor, odds are you won’t be seen in many other high profile projects outside that job. Actors like David Tennant, Matt Smith, and Capaldi had virtually all their time taken up by the show, and anyone who replaces them will need a similarly clear schedule. So without further ado, here are our picks. Michael Sheen Showtime Michael Sheen may be occupied with Showtime’s Masters of Sex, but that doesn’t make him any less qualified to fill the shoes of the Doctor. He carries the everyman British appeal that’s a requirement for the character, is an incredible all-around actor, and not for nothing, looks great in a bow tie. Obviously something would have to happen to Masters in order for him to make time for Doctor Who, but a lot can happen between now and the time official casting calls begin. Kenneth Branagh.

Kenneth Branagh BBC Of all the actors who could potentially become the Doctor, none are quite as qualified as Kenneth Branagh. Musou Orochi Z Save Game Editor. Branagh is classically trained, and is easily one of the most accomplished British actors still alive today. It would seem all too appropriate to crown him as the heir apparent for the role, and would be the cherry on top of what’s been a stellar career. He’d have to leave another BBC show in Wallander to do so, but there’s no doubting it’d be more than worth it both for Branagh and Doctor Who fans. Idris Elba Anthony Harvey/Getty Images Idris Elba is an actor whose name comes up in virtually every discussion when an iconic role opens up. He has the build of an action star, the talent of an A-lister, and a level of charisma that’s unmatched in the industry. And even while he’s currently being considered to step in as James Bond following Daniel Craig’s departure, he could always have Doctor Who as a consolation prize if that doesn’t end up working out.
