The Master/Missy and shocks go hand-in-hand, this is the same being after all who has destroyed half the universe over their lifetimes. Yet Missy actress Michelle Gomez is still shocked by what lays in store for the character in the forthcoming series 9.
Speaking to Rick Fulton of the Daily Record, Gomez can’t reveal much beyond Missy being, once again, up to no good:
“I can’t tell you much, I’m too much of a fan of the show to spoil the fun but I can tell you she’s up to no good. Even I was a bit shocked at her level of disdain this year. She has no boundaries that girl, she is very naughty.”
Gomez also reveals she feels changing the gender of The Master is change enough on the matter of a female Doctor:
“I just can’t see past Peter Capaldi’s Doctor right now. I guess maybe one day they could try that but it feels like switching gender with The Master is change enough for now. We Whovians are a loyal bunch and don’t like too much change. I feel like I’ve rocked the boat enough for now, let’s not sink the whole bloody ship.”
And that her five year old son has an idea for a spin-off!:
“My son is still a bit young to get the whole Who thing but he does seem determined I should have my own spin-off, he calls me Missy Who. He’s also determined Missy should meet The Queen. Of course, I support both these ideas wholeheartedly.”
Michelle Gomez will return as Missy in the Series 9 opening two parter The Magician’s Apprentice and The Witch’s Familiar, airing this coming autumn/fall on BBC1 and BBC America.
