Karen Gillan Would Return To Doctor Who, But Under One Condition (Game Rant)

Former Doctor Who star Karen Gillan reveals that she would only return to the series if her co-stars Matt Smith and Arthur Darvill join her.

I would like to do it with Matt Smith and Arthur Darvill, if I was going to go back.” Gillan's prompt answer should give Doctor Who fans hope to see the beloved Amy Pond return after her abrupt, disheartening departure from the series. The episode is set to be released in November 2023, and it will be directed by previous showrunner Davies. This anniversary special is the perfect opportunity for Gillan, Smith, and Darvill to make their comeback, as it would be very nostalgic and comforting for many Doctor Who fans - fingers crossed. However, in a recent interview with Wired, Gillan confessed that she would return to Doctor Who, but she would only like to do so if her former co-stars, Smith and Darvill, would join her as well. If I was asked, I would be really, really interested and keen. The reboot signified the show at the peak of its popularity.

Matt Smith Reveals The Franchise He'd Love To Return To, And It ... (GIANT FREAKIN ROBOT)

Sorry, Jared. As much as Matt Smith may enjoy being in Morbius, that isn't the big franchise he'd return to if he could.

As far as Matt Smith wanting to return to Doctor Who, apparently he isn’t the only one from his time in the TARDIS who would be willing to go back. Whether or not it’s in the cards for Matt Smith to be asked back as the Doctor, the hypothetical may be a useless exercise if the critics have their way. Speaking to Digital Spy earlier this week, Matt Smith said when he was offered the role of Milo Morbius, he checked in with his former Doctor Who castmate, Karen Gillan. “I phoned Karen and said, ‘What’s it like? It was actually the actor’s history with Doctor Who that helped him get the part as the eponymous character’s surrogate brother in Morbius, and not just in terms of exposure. Once asked, Smith didn’t take long before answering, “Doctor Who.” The actor was quick to point out he wasn’t meaning to diss his new movie. Instead, he said he’d rather reprise the role of the iconic Doctor.
