Matt Smith has said that he would reprise his role as the Eleventh Doctor in Doctor Who, calling the character “the best part in the world”.
The House of the Dragon actor made the comments in a filmed interview, when he was asked if he’d prefer to play the Doctor again opposite former co-star Karen Gillan, or film a Morbius sequel alongside Jared Leto.
“Doctor Who. Doctor Who’s the best. Doctor Who’s the best part in the world, you know,” Smith told IGV Presents.
“That’s not to say I wouldn’t love to be in a Morbius sequel with Jared because I would, but, you know, the Doctor’s the Doctor – unbeatable. All part of the plan.”
When the interviewer said how delighted he was with Smith’s choice, the actor responded with: “I had to.”

Smith first shot to stardom when he took over the lead role on Doctor Who from David Tennant, playing the Eleventh Doctor for a three-season tenure.
