Possible SPOILERS ahead!
According to reports in the Daily Express, Cumberbatch could resurrect the Master for the 50th anniversary story.
“It’s fitting that the Doctor comes face to face with his ultimate enemy The Master for the 50th anniversary and it’s felt Benedict is the perfect choice if schedules can work,” wrote The Daily Express, which based its report on an inside source “Fans will love the idea of the man who plays Sherlock Holmes taking on the Doctor. Benedict has often been asked about whether he would like to play the Doctor, so it will be ironic if he now ends up being The Master instead.”
Cumberbatch works with Who producer Steven Moffat on the hit series Sherlock.
