Along the lines of some other posts I’ve been doing lately (like here), I did some quick but extensive research to find out what actor from Doctor Who have also appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

He also played a version of the Doctor in the original animated web-cast, Scream of the Shalka from 2003. And he also also played another version of the Doctor in the Comic Relief special, Doctor Who – the Curse of Fatal Death from 1999.

And that’s it! I think it was David Bradley who took me by the biggest surprise this time around. I had no idea he was in Captain America. Also, the guy who starred in Japanese Doctor Who!

In addition to the titles listed here, I also looked up all the other films not listed, plus the TV series Agent Carter, The Inhumans, Cloak & Dagger, Runaways, Hellstrom and WandaVision, as they are all listed in one place or another as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Of course, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is always growing (and so indeed, is Doctor Who, although at a much slower pace), so there is every chance this will become out of date quite quickly, but for now this is all I could find.
