9 Questions That Need To Be Answered About The Doctor Who Movie

2. Who Will Play The Doctor?

My Gosh Robert Downey Jr Gif Doctor who? Doctor who? No, seriously, Doctor who?! Nobody knows when the movie will see the light of day which means that it's impossible to predict 'who' will be the star. Like that's ever stopped us before! At least the film will follow on from the TV series, so whoever's in the role at the time will help to ease the show's transition to the big screen. Unless they bump off the current incarnation just before the movie to make way for Robert Downey Jr. or something (he's actually revealed that he'd love to play the Doctor, so don't write him off just yet!), in which case the world is pretty much Doctor Who's oyster. It's certainly intriguing, though. Would the chance to play the Doctor on the big screen attract more high profile, established movie stars who wouldn't otherwise be interested? If so, casting the Doctor Who movie just got very interesting. You never know, Jim Carrey might have changed his mind since he turned down the offer back in the 90s. Stranger things have happened.
