Cumberbatch Rules Out Doctor Who Role

We’ve heard rumours of him being cast as the Master to the Doctor himself but it looks as though Benedict Cumberbatch has ruled out appearing in Doctor Who in any capacity.

The Sherlock star told audiences at the Oz Comic-Con [via]: “I’m never gonna play the Doctor, and nothing to do with the Whoniverse.”

His reply doesn’t come as much of a surprise though, Cumberbatch said in the past that he wouldn’t like to be the Doctor stating: “I didn’t really like the whole package – being on school lunch boxes.”
