What’s more, the 25-year-old is open to releasing a
Doctor Who-inspired album as well.
Last month,
it was revealed that Foxes would be joining Peter Capaldi in his first season as the Doctor since taking over the role from Matt Smith late last year.
The Grammy-award-winning singer will be making her acting debut on the long-running science-fiction drama series, though of the character she will be playing are still thin on the ground.
What is known is that, as
Who showrunner
Steven Moffat puts it, “the Doctor is finally catching up on his phone calls,” and that she
will be performing a song on the show.
“I’m not the villain,” was all
Foxes would say; but she did tell BBC Radio 1’s
Newsbeat that the song
she was performing “might get released” as a single and that there could be a
Doctor Who album, too.
Capaldi’s first full season of
Doctor Who — which has been in production since late 2013 and is still currently filming — is set to return to television screens
some time this August.
His Doctor is set to be joined by up to three companions.
Jenna Coleman will be returning as Clara Oswald, who was first seen in 2012 in the serial
Asylum of the Daleks.
