Previous reports claimed that Marshall was one of the top choices for the role of the 13th Time Role after Peter Capaldi opted to leave the show at the end of season 10. But after the announcement confirming that Whittaker will be the one to step into the vacant role, the 44-year-old actor is now said to be the one who will be assisting the new Time Lord in all her adventures.
Marshall is best known for portraying the role of Nick Harper in "My Family," as well as the British-French crime drama "Death in Paradise" as Humphrey Goodman. However, he left his role in the series after starring in the show for the last four seasons.
If the news will turn out to be true, Marshall will join the ranks of the other Time Lord companions in the past like Billie Piper, Karen Gillan, and Jenna Coleman.
However, reports also claim that a spokesperson from BBC revealed that the network has yet to decide on the casting for the companion role.
Meanwhile, Radio Times revealed that Doctor Who's daughter Jenny, portrayed by Georgia Moffett, will be featured in a series of audio adventures that will be produced by Big Finish.
The report also revealed that Jenny will be joined by a male companion that will be portrayed by "Harry Potter" star Sean Biggerstaff.
