Summary
Ever since the coming into court of a particular newDoctor Whovillain in the season 14 trailer , there have been several theory as to their true identity , but the second episode of the time of year debunks one of the most popular hypotheses . Doctor Whoseason 14 , installment 2 , " The Devil ’s Chord , " brings a fresh adversary into the franchise , and while there are seemingly sure clew to suggest the Doctor has encountered them before - it plainly is n’t true .
Several actors have played the Master inDoctor Who , and while rumors have been twiddle about the imminent return key of the Doctor ’s Old curse , it does n’t look like he ’ll be coming back as presently as some devotee might have ideate . Like the physician , the Master can regenerate , entirely rework how they bet and act . Because of this , any cryptical new addition to theDoctor Whoseason 14 castcould technically be the Master in a new form , but " The Devil ’s Chord " stomps out the theory for a character who has been a prime suspect for a while .
Doctor of the Church Who has preface a blanket salmagundi of villain in its 60 - year run , with only a few come back throughout to repeatedly take exception the Doctor .
Jinkx Monsoon Is NOT Playing The New Master In Doctor Who Season 14
Maestro has only a tangential link to the Master
Jinkx Monsoon ’s part is name Maestro , which mean " Master " in Italian . As such , it ’s easy to see how the theory of Monsoon playing the Master took shape . However , " The Devil ’s Chord " support thatMaestro is a completely original character , with their title coming from their fearsome euphony - based superpower . Maestro is n’t even a Time Lord , and is instead a fellow member of a mysterious arrangement -Doctor Who ’s " Pantheon . “The Pantheon develop from outside the world , and consist of at least Maestro and Neil Patrick Harris ' Toymaker .
Speaking with David Tennant ’s Fourteenth Doctor in " The Giggle , " the Toymaker say , " I sealed [ the Master ] for all eternity inside my atomic number 79 tooth . "
The Toymaker has interacted with the Master before , as confirm in thefinal episode of theDoctor Who60th - anniversary specials . Speaking with David Tennant ’s Fourteenth Doctor in " The Giggle , " the Toymaker say , " I sealed [ the Master ] for all eternity inside my amber tooth . " So , see asMaestro is the Toymaker ’s small fry , there is a connection between Maestro and the Master , but they are very far from being the same person . While there may be those who feel disappointed by this , keeping Maestro separate from the Master is the better move .

It’s Too Early For The Master To Return In Doctor Who
The Master risks being even more overused if brought back too soon
Before the Toymaker entered the fray as the dealership ’s main villain in the day of remembrance specials , the Master had just been the antagonist for the final bow of Jodie Whittaker ’s Thirteenth Doctor . So , bringing the Master back almost now after they were last defeat would be far too soon . In addition , the character is arguably overdrive - peculiarly inDoctor Who ’s modern epoch . So , what would make more sensory faculty would be to letDisney’sDoctor Whoerabreathe , set aside the enfranchisement to bring in more new villains like Maestro , and only then regard add the Master back to the story .
gratefully , Maestro is a compelling antagonist in their own right , meaning there is no reason to make a connexion to the Master .
Doctor Whohas had an issue with its villains for a while now , as they ’re often used too often , and this is also true of the Master . Thankfully , Maestro is a compelling antagonist in their own right , mean there is no understanding to make a connection to the Master . IfDoctor Whocontinues to preface wise faces to the Doctors gallery of villains , then this is a much better option to constantly reimagining classic sorry guy like the Master , the Daleks , and the Cybermen .

Sacha Dhawan Can Now Return As Doctor Who’s Master (& He Should)
Dhawan shone as the Master during Jodie Whittaker’s run as the Doctor
The Master was last played on - blind by Sacha Dhawan , come out in the finale of the three 2022Doctor Whospecials , " The Power of the Doctor . " Jodie Whittaker ’s Thirteenth Doctor regenerate into David Tennants Fourteenth at the end of the episode , which trip the events of the 60th - anniversary special . So , it would make sense if it is in fact Dhawan ’s verison of the Master who is imprisoned in the Toymaker ’s amber tooth . If so , the same actor could conceivably dally the persona when he finally returns to theDoctor Whouniverse .
Doctor Who has been a secureness on TV screenland for 60 yr , meaning there are plenty of storey to choose from when picking out the Time Lord ’s best .
Sacha Dhawan is brilliant in the role of the Master , perfectly conveying the baddie ’s balance of chaotic instability and a rarefied reason that can equal the Doctor ’s . Unfortunately , he played the character during an fabulously dissentious time in the show ’s account , and so his performance fell mostly on indifferent ear , with Chris Chibnall ’s fourth dimension as showrunner being too distracting as he created numerous plot mess in the prospicient - runningDoctor Whocontinuity . Dhawan deserves the opportunity to shine during Disney ’s era ofDoctor Who , but returning too before long would get Master fatigue .
