As Doctor Who season 15 draws closer to its end and the show’s future remains uncertain, Tennant was asked about the rumors that he had been selected to lead the show once more when speaking to The Guardian. The actor immediately debunked the idea, stating, “Ha, nobody’s told me that!“ He then went on to defend his fellow Doctors, Gatwa and Jodie Whittaker, from questionable online debates, stating:
These debates – and it’s not even a debate, it’s a small clutch of people shouting very loudly, amplified by certain elements of the press – are not reflective of what most people feel. Things become ludicrously disproportionate, and end up being unnecessarily cruel. That’s what the trans debate seems to have become. Most people don’t give a sh*t. I genuinely believe most people just want to let people be themselves. All they’re doing is making a tiny portion of society who have a really tough time anyway have an even tougher time
What Tennant’s Response Means For Doctor Who’s Future
The Fourteenth Doctor’s Return Has Been Theorized Since 2023
When the bigeneration first occurred, both Donna (Catherine Tate) and the Fifteenth Doctor suggested that the opportunity would finally allow the Time Lord to process several lifetimes’ worth of trauma and give the Fifteenth incarnation a fresh start. As such, it has been theorized that when the time comes for the Fifteenth Doctor to regenerate, he and Fourteen will merge, bringing their consciousness and experiences into one being. However, with Tennant refuting the rumor, it is clear any potential return for him isn’t in the works just yet.
