According to EW, Whishaw has topped U.K. bookmakers William Hill’s list of favorites to replace Capaldi on Doctor Who, coming in at 6/1 odds.
As fans recently learned, current Doctor Peter Capaldi announced that the upcoming tenth season would be his final outing as the character.
There’s been a ton of speculation as to who could replace Capaldi in Doctor Who, ranging from calls for the show to finally break tradition and cast a female in the role to Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint.
If there’s one television show that has gotten away with more cast changes than any other, it’s hard to argue that the award would go to the long-running BBC show Doctor Who.
