Russell T. Davies reveals he was asked to showrun a mystery MCU project.
For some, Russell T. Davies has become a ubiquitous part of the television landscape, thanks to his work on Doctor Who and Queer as Folk. As a new interview with Davies, who is about to make his return to Who, reveals, he almost had a role in helping a completely different franchise. In a recent interview with SFX Magazine, Davies revealed that he was asked to showrun a"British Marvel show" — presumably for Marvel Studios, which has ventured into television in recent years on Disney+.
"I got asked to showrun a British Marvel show, but 'We can't tell you what it is,'" Davies explained. 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?" Who Will Be the Next Doctor Who?Sex Education and Barbie star Ncuti Gatwa is set to play the Fifteenth Doctor in the upcoming 60th anniversary season of Doctor Who, which will be showrun by Davies. David Tennant, who portrayed the franchise's Tenth Doctor, will also be returning as the Fourteenth Doctor for a string of specials later this fall.
"Oh God, what a force of nature," Tennant exclaimed in a recent interview. "I've caught a little bit of him at work and it's pretty exciting. I mean, what advice would you give someone? You can see Ncuti has so much talent and energy. He's so inspired and charismatic. The thing about something like this is: it's the peripherals, it's not the job. It's the other stuff that comes with it, that I didn't see coming.
