David Tennant Expected to Return to Doctor Who Following Ncuti Gatwa Exit

David Tennant is emerging as the favorite to replace Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor in the long-running series Doctor Who, following reports of Gatwa's potential exit after only two seasons. Bookmakers have placed Tennant at 5/1 odds to take over the iconic role permanently, with other contenders including Josh O'Connor and Jack Lowden. The show faces uncertainty, with Disney+ waiting to evaluate the performance of Gatwa's second season before making decisions about its future. Fans have expressed frustration over recent storylines, leading to speculation about the show's management and longevity. Insiders indicate that Gatwa may have already filmed his regeneration scene and is considering relocating to pursue Hollywood opportunities, which further complicates the show's future. The BBC has denied claims that Doctor Who could be sidelined, although the lack of plans for a third series has raised eyebrows.
