Who is Neil Patrick Harris’ villain in the Doctor Who 60th anniversary. Here’s everything we know about Harris’ Doctor Who character after the latest trailer just dropped.
The Doctor Who 60th anniversary release date is getting closer and closer, and the hype is real.

Who is Neil Patrick Harris’ villain in Doctor Who?
The identity of Neil Patrick Harris’ villain in the upcoming Doctor Who 60th anniversary special has not been confirmed. However, there’s plenty of exciting speculation as to who the actor could be playing.
First, and least likely, is the idea that Neil Patrick Harris’ Doctor Who villain is a new incarnation of The Master. The only real evidence supporting this idea is that Russell T Davies has stated Harris will be playing The Doctor’s greatest enemy yet.

Then, there’s the theory that Harris is starring as the Celestial Toymaker. This is a villain from Doctor Who’s deep past, and the evidence for this is based on the fact that Harris’ characters has been surrounded by toys and other related imagery.
There are plenty more theories (an alternate version of The Doctor, for example) but the most likely scenario – in our humble opinion – is that Harris is playing a brand new villain. This would be the most exciting option, and would kick off the new Russell T Davies era with something fresh. As the 13th Doctor would say: brilliant
