After a thirteen-year hiatus from the TARDIS, Russell T Davies is back doing what he does best, showrunning Doctor Who. But in a recent conversation with SFX, the screenwriter and producer revealed that he was once asked to run a Marvel show too.
“I got asked to showrun a British Marvel show, but [they said] ‘We can’t tell you what it is,'” Davies tellsSFX magazinein the new issue, which features David Tennant as Doctor Who on the cover. The director laughs loudly, “To this day, I watch them and I can’t work out which show that was going to be. Obviously planning to make a British Marvel show that I haven’t seen. Has that happened?”
However, it looks like there will be little time for overseeing any Marvel shows for Davies. After the upcoming anniversary specials, Davies has his hands full with the latest season of Doctor Who, starring Sex Education’s Ncuti Gatwa as the 15th doctor.
The first of the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary specials, starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate, will air on the BBC on November 25.
