Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Will Feature Matt Smith And David Tennant, Not All 11 Doctors: Will Moffat Use Old Footage?

Although "Doctor Who" creator Steven Moffat has already confirmed not all 11 Doctors will grace the 50th Anniversary Special, it still seems possible that a reunion of some sort will be illustrated this November.

"Although David Tennant has returned to his role of the Tenth Doctor, the other old Doctors will not be taking part," confirmed the Doctor Who Magazine.

And Steven Moffat gave a clear explanation of why that may be.

"We can't do 11 Doctors! Three of them are dead!" said Moffat to EW.

"What we're not doing is the traditional massive reunion. It's a different kind of anniversary, and the spine of that are David and Matt."

But, does this mean we won't see the faces of the 11 Doctors?

In the season 7 finale, footage from the old "Doctor Who" series were inserted with Jenna-Louise Coleman. 

It's very possible, then, that the 50th Anniversary Special will use the same tactic to make a "reunion" or sorts, happen. And of course, David Tennant, Matt Smith, and the mysterious John Hurt will play Doctors for the narrative.

For now, "Doctor Who" fans will have to wait and see who shows up for the 50th Anniversary November 23.
