A Doctor Who T-Shirt May Have Spoiled The Next Pantheon Villain Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor Will Face, And It's Someone Longtime Fans Will Know

As a seasoned gamer and long-time Doctor Who enthusiast, I must say that the latest rumors surrounding the return of the Black Guardian have me both thrilled and apprehensive. The classic era villains hold a special place in my heart, so seeing one of them potentially re-emerging in the upcoming seasons is like finding an old friend at a party you weren’t expecting to attend.


Fans of “Doctor Who” can now eagerly anticipate the show’s comeback in the 2025 TV lineup, as Season 2 of its Disney+ era is approaching and the holiday special isn’t far off. Given this, it’s only expected that speculation would begin once more, and a fresh piece of merchandise could potentially reveal the next character contending with Ncuti Gatwa in the role of the Doctor.

2024 saw Merchandise being convicted of ruining the biggest mystery in Agatha All Along, and it now stands ready to possibly tarnish another storyline for a Disney+ show. Here’s some information we’ve gathered based on a Walmart listing, as spotted by Bleeding Cool.

A Doctor Who T-Shirt Set For 2025 Showed A Classic-Era Villain With A New Name

New “Doctor Who” t-shirts are coming soon featuring the enigmatic character called “The Chaos Guardian.” This figure with a bird on his head may seem unfamiliar to some, but those well-versed in the classic series will instantly recognize him as the ominous Black Guardian. Known as one of the Guardians of Time, the Black Guardian personified the embodiment of all chaos throughout time.

It seems odd to revamp a villain whose fame peaked in the late 70s and early 80s without any apparent reason, doesn’t it? Could it be that retailers like Walmart are anticipating a resurgence of interest in this character, who hasn’t been seen in many adventures recently, to suddenly increase dramatically? If so, one can’t help but speculate that the villain might be making a comeback on Doctor Who.

Why Black Guardian Joining The Pantheon In Doctor Who Makes Sense

This situation calls to mind the time when Doctor Who introduced Neil Patrick Harris as The Toymaker, who had previously been known as The Celestial Toymaker. The change in character name was largely due to the original title being offensive to Asian communities, and the new name better aligns with the series’ image for the year 2024. I won’t delve into why Doctor Who transformed Black Guardian into The Guardian of Chaos, but I can share that it is a more fitting description for the character.

How To Watch Doctor Who In Order

Managing all the turmoil across time is a divine-like ability, fitting for the villains from Pantheon that The Doctor has encountered in this latest phase. In fact, the arrival of such a character brings back memories of how the second-to-last season reintroduced Sutekh, another god-like adversary from the classic era of Doctor Who. If The Guardian of Chaos is making a comeback, I’m curious to discover what actions of The Doctor could have provoked the anger of nearly every powerful being he has ever encountered!

In a previous announcement by Russell T. Davies, it was disclosed that at least three additional deity characters would be introduced in ‘Doctor Who’, and Sutekh’s appearance was already unveiled beforehand. This implies that the Disney+ series will feature more villains with divine traits, making The Guardian of Chaos an excellent candidate to join the storyline. It is possible that we might encounter him during the upcoming season or this year’s special episode.

Regardless of who turns up, I’m growing more and more eager to watch a fresh “Doctor Who” episode by December. I’m hoping for an enjoyable episode, but as fans are aware, predicting the outcome of the Christmas episodes is like flipping a coin since they can take either direction.
