Hayley Atwell is known for her role as Peggy Carter in the Marvel Universe. She was Captain America’s hard-hitting girlfriend. She became a super spy and co-founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Carter became a huge part of the greater Marvel Universe. But Atwell has her eyes on set on a larger role in Geekdom.
During a Twitter Q&A session, Atwell was asked if she would like a guest appearance on the British (world renown) television series, Doctor Who. She replied with the below statement.
@ohmyjlc I’d like to BE Doctor Who

That is right folks. Hayley Atwell has thrown her hat in the ring as the Doctor. We know eventually the Doctor will change genders. Prior to Peter Capaldi being announced as the latest Doctor, there was speculation of the Doctor being a female. It didn’t happen this time but might next time. We now have the villainous Missy, a female incarnation of the Master. It demonstrated that Gallifreyans can change genders when they regenerate.
I cannot think of a better candidate to break the Doctor Who Gender Barrier than Hayley Atwell. She has the personality it takes to be the Doctor. She has such a sexy British accent. She know how to film action scenes. She already had a large fanbase from her role as Peggy Carter.
I am fully behind Atwell becoming the next Doctor. I can picture her in the TARDIS.
Here is to hoping.
Stay Geeky My Friends!
