4. Toby Jones
Again, its a weird one this, seeing as Jones already appears to have had a memorable stint as the Dream Lord in Matt Smiths debut series. Fans have speculated about him ever since with some believing he could return as NuWhos version of the Valeyard. Yet for the time being that honour appears to have been passed to John Hurt, leaving us thinking that perhaps they didnt have any other plans for Jones character, aside from that one-shot performance. With this in mind, would it be so incongruous for him to pick up the role of the Doctor? If anything, it might be a cheeky little nod to the Doctors history Jones character was clearly a mirror of the Timelord, and it wouldnt be too hard a jump for Moffat (especially given his history of bonkers plotting) to ret-con this past appearance into some form of regeneration prophecy. If anything, itll be a very different way to approach the event usually, the Doctor has no idea what hes going to end up like, but having him take on the guise of someone hes seen before in his subconscious could provide a novel twist.
