If Peter Capaldi decides to leave the Time Lord’s adventures behind in the near future, Redmayne could be the perfect person to step into the TARDIS next.
His reveal on BBC Radio 1 that he would be on board for Doctor Who is definitely cause for excitement.
Fans have been noting Newt Scamander’s distinctly Doctor-ish look to him ever since the first trailer for Fantastic Beasts hit the web.
With his suit and jacket, Newt looks like he’s part of the same fashion movement as the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors, so throw in the fact that his magic suitcase is so much bigger on the inside that he can actually live in it, and Fantastic Beasts almost feels like Eddie Redmayne’s audition for the role of the next Doctor.
