Comic-Con 2018 - Doctor Who 11, le prime curiosità sulle puntate con protagonista Jodie Whittaker
Tutte le curiosità sull'undicesima stagione di Doctor Who rivelate durante il panel del Comic-Con a San Diego
Prima di salire sul palco della Hall H, lo showrunner Chris Chibnall, che ha ereditato la guida della serie cult da Steven Moffat, ha confermato che non ci saranno storie divise in più puntate e, come da tradizione, a Natale andrà in onda un episodio speciale.
BBC ha inoltre condiviso il trailer ufficiale delle puntate inedite (potete vederlo qui) e i banner promozionali.

Erano presenti al panel anche Chibnall, Tosin Cole e Mandip Gill.
BBC America ha condiviso un video in cui i fan reagiscono alla scelta di Jodie come interprete del tredicesimo Dottore:
Welcome, Jodie Whittaker! #WelcomeJodie #DoctorWho #SDCC pic.twitter.com/ipxXZFdQF7

Lo showrunner ha spiegato che non ha avuto alcuna esitazione nell'assegnare il ruolo a Jodie perché, non appena era entrata per fare la sua audizione, si era trasformata nella versione del Dottore che immaginava, risultando originale, emozionante e qualcosa di completamente nuovo. L'attrice si era proposta per la parte durante le riprese di Trust Me e ha realizzato una sequenza in cui fingeva di disinnescare una bomba, elemento realizzato in casa con una scatola di scarpe.
Chris Chibnall knew Jodie was the Doctor bc it was new, fresh, and emotional. He knew he wanted to write for her. She nailed it. #SDCC #DoctorWho #doctorwhoSDCC #SDCC2018

Jodie really wanted the part so she made her own props - shoebox w/ iphone wires and she diffused a bomb in her audition tape #DoctorWho #SDCC #HallH

Per il ruolo dei companion, invece, Chibnall era alla ricerca di attori in grado di poter interpretare un'ampia gamma di emozioni in modo realistico perché i due personaggi compieranno un percorso emotivo significativo. Mandip e Tosin hanno quindi incontrato Jodie e il feeling è stato immediato.
Chibnall were looking for people who had incredible range and emotional truth for the companions. Mandip and Tosin's characters will go on emotional journeys. #SDCC #DoctorWho #doctorwhoSDCC #SDCC2018

Both Mandip and Tosin read with Jodie and the chemistry was apparent. Both are funny, smart, and had so much range. Chemistry was key. #SDCC #DoctorWho #doctorwhoSDCC #SDCC2018

Yaz sarà una diciannovenne di Sheffield che ama il proprio lavoro, ma spera di avere qualcosa in più nella vita, venendo travolta dalla nuova avventura.
"Yaz is a 19 year old girl from Sheffield. She enjoys her job but she thinks she can do a little bit more, so she asks for a little bit more, and she GETS a little bit more. So she gets whisked away on this adventure." - @MandipGill on her #DoctorWho character, Yaz. #SDCC pic.twitter.com/UU198vLrZ7

L'intera troupe ha subito espresso il proprio apprezzamento per Jodie nella parte, come confermato da Chibnall:

Bradley Walsh non ha potuto essere presente a San Diego, ma ha inviato un video scusandosi per la propria assenza:

"While the Doctor is away, the companions will play..." - Walsh as he goes into her trailer. #SDCC #DoctorWho #doctorwhoSDCC #SDCC2018
Jodie ha spiegato che è stato bello come attrice poter superare il limite di rappresentare un personaggio come il Dottore esclusivamente in versione maschile, soprattutto considerando l'attuale situazione della società.
“... your whole mind-set is programmed from being a kid that to play the Doctor, you have to be a man, and if you’re a girl you could be a companion.

So as an actor, for those rules to be thrown out the window at this kind of perfect time is really exciting.” #SDCC #DoctorWho ✨ pic.twitter.com/JdzjKPXHQF
L'attrice ha svelato che interpretare la sequenza della rigenerazione è stato particolarmente emozionante:

Chris Chibnall è convinto che il mondo abbia bisogno di un po' di speranza, situazione perfettamente riassunta nella versione del Dottore affidata a Jodie che, per la parte, ha infuso al personaggio molta energia e un po' di meraviglia innocente.

David Tennant è stato tra i primi a sapere della decisione di affidare il ruolo a Jodie, con cui ha lavorato in Broadchurch, e l'ex Dottore si è subito complimentato con l'amica e collega, assicurandole che sarà un'esperienza incredibile.
David Tennant was expecting a phone call from whoever the upcoming Doctor was, and then Jodie's number came up on his phone. His reaction? "This is the most amazing thing that can happen to you, and there's only a few of us who know how it feels!" #DoctorWho #SDCC
