Outpost Gallifrey has posted a story reported today in the monster English tabloid The Sun about the return of one of Doctor Who’s most iconic villains: Davros — the creator of the Daleks.
But…if the report is to be believed…well, I don’t think anyone would have guessed the magnitude of the star power that is being touted to reprise this ultimate Doctor Who nemesis…
Ben Kingsley!
That’s right…Sir Ben Kingsley…the man who played Gandhi!
Is it true? God knows…The Sun is a tabloid that has been correct many times…but they’re also notorious for their outlandish, ridiculous (and spectacularly incorrect) rumour-mongering.
Judge for yourself…below is a selection from the body of the article in The Sun:
Doctor Who bosses are set to sign up Gandhi star Sir Ben Kingsley to play the Daleks’ creator Davros.
Sir Ben, 63 - who won an Oscar for his movie role as India’s peace-loving spiritual leader - is in final negotiations to play one of the most dangerous baddies in the galaxy.
A source said: “Ben’s agent has been in talks for a while now and he’s very keen to play the part of Davros. A deal will be signed any day now.”
Fans will be delighted that insane half-man, half-machine Davros is returning for the fourth series of the hit BBC1 show, which stars David Tennant as the Timelord.
The alien scientist - who first battled the Doctor in 1975 - is hell-bent on destruction with his army of exterminating Daleks
