The Toymaker<\/a> was played in the episode by Neil Patrick Harris, and while the character was defeated at the end, he warned in his last moment that his \u201clegions are coming\u201d.<\/p>\n Showrunner Russell T Davies has now teased what this will mean for Ncuti Gatwa\u2019s Doctor in the future, revealing that the threat will be realised with the \u2018possible\u2019 appearance of \u201cgodlike characters\u201d.<\/p>\n Speaking on The Official Doctor Who Podcast<\/a>, Davies said: \u201cThe Toymaker said his legions are coming, and they are. Faithful viewers, listeners, podcasters, I can tell you, they are. Possibly also involving pantheons of previous godlike characters.<\/p>\n \u201cThere have been godlike characters before in Doctor Who, the Gods of Ragnarok, for example, and other powerful beings who you can decide are gods or not.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cIf you decide that the Toymaker is the god of games, there are other ones. So have a think, have a talk amongst yourselves, like, who in the past would have been in the pantheon, and what kind of gods in the future, and goddesses, would you like to see?\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n The podcasters went on to discuss Satan as one of the potential characters who could return after the character was introduced in the 2006 story The Impossible Planet\/The Satan Pit. Ncuti Gatwa has previously called him the villain he would most like to battle<\/a>.<\/p>\n Last year, Gatwa said: \u201cI would love to battle The Beast because what an ultimate villain. That is the devil and I don\u2019t think you get much more evil than that.\u201d<\/p> The Giggle also set up the appearance of another future or returning villain, with the Toymaker revealing the one \u201cplayer\u201d he \u201cdidn\u2019t dare face\u201d \u2013 The One Who Waits<\/a>.<\/p>\n Exactly who or what this proves to be is unclear, but we do know it\u2019s not the Master<\/a> \u2013 the Toymaker defeated him in a game and trapped him in his gold tooth, which is still very much in play at the end of the episode.<\/p> ![\"Neil](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/450943-4749420.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"450943,Doctor")
