The former Tenth Doctor is set to star in Dean Devlin’s Bad Samaritan.
What we do know about Tennant’s character is that it will be much closer to his role as the deranged Dr. Zebediah Kilgrave in Jessica Jones than the scatterbrained, Converse-wearing time-traveler in Doctor Who, more likely to wield a 9mm automatic than a sonic screwdriver. Whether this yet-unnamed villain will be more psychopathic than Kilgrave (if that’s even possible) is still up for debate. Devlin did tantalizingly hint at the character’s personality when he highlighted one of the actor’s strengths, mentioning that “Tennant’s intensity is a perfect match for this material.” In other words, Tennant should have no problem.
No release date has been announced, but filming will start in Portland later this year.
