When “Doctor Who” returns for its 8th season in August, the Time Lord will have more than just a new look. The 12th Doctor Peter Capaldi says his version of the character, taking over for Matt Smith, will be “more alien than he’s been for a while.”
Empire got the details from Capaldi, and also released a new photo of him in character.

Capaldi went on to say, “It can become a kind of franchise where it’s not a real character at all, but just an amalgam of elements that people think are Doctor Who: a scarf, a bow tie… I wanted to be the actual Doctor Who.”
