12 Actors Who Want To Return To Doctor Who

12. Michelle Gomez

Michelle Gomez last played the wickedly-funny villainess Missy in 2017's Series 10 finale, where she was seemingly killed off by her prior, rather angry incarnation. However, in typical Master fashion, Missy survived this apparent demise, and soon went on to torment the Thirteenth Doctor.

Gomez's infectious energy made her an instant hit with fans, and she clearly had a blast in the role - so it's no surprise she's eager to return at some point in the future.

In 2019, the actress told Radio Times that she was "completely open" to stepping back into Missy's shoes, expressing particular interest in squaring off against Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor:

"Oh gosh yeah of course I would, I’d love to have a little run around with her. I don’t know if that’s ever gonna happen but I’m completely open to it, and I’d love to see Missy come back in and just get to play again."

With Whittaker set to regenerate at the end of 2022, a Missy/Thirteen showdown doesn't seem to be on the cards, but hey, you never know: maybe Chris Chibnall has squeezed that confrontation into November's centenary special?
