Robert Downey Jr To Star In Doctor Who?

There's A Chance Iron Man Could Appear In Doctor Who...

Avengers Actor, Robert Downey Jr has revealed that he thinks Doctor Who is an "incredible series" and it's possible that he could appear in the BBC One hit show. Downey Jr has a Reddit Ask Me Anything thread. A user had asked a rather intriguing question. The question being whether Robert would ever go for a role in Doctor Who if given the chance. Downey Jr came back with this response:

"It’s funny you’d bring that up. A writer asked me to watch a particular episode about a month ago, in hopes of helping us break a story on a project. An incredible series. Anything’s possible." - Robert Downey Jr

The questions on everyone's minds is: Who would he play? There's of course the chance that he could possibly take on the main role as the beloved Time Lord, The Doctor. But, what he took on the role as the other famous Time Lord, The Master. The Master or Missy if you like is currently female and played by Michelle Gomez. Who's to say Downey Jr won't be the next incarnation?

The world now starts to pray that Robert Downey Jr steps into the Doctor Who universe for the very first time. Series Ten of Doctor Who has a Spring 2017 air date and current Showrunner, Steven Moffat apparently has a big plan lined up before he steps down in 2018. Broadchurch Showruner, Chris Chibnall will replace Steven Moffat as Doctor Who Showrunner in 2018 with Series Eleven.
