Whilst it seems like we won't be seeing a proper Doctor Who movie anytime soon, the show's 2016 Christmas special, titled The Return of Doctor Mysterio, will receive a theatrical release.

The hour-long episode will play in screens across the US on Tuesday, December 27 and Thursday, December 29. All screenings will take place at 7:00pm local time. It will also air on BBC America on Christmas Day.

The Return of Doctor Mysterio will see Twelfth Doctor joining forces with both a journalist and a superhero (yes, a superhero), to save New York City from a new alien threat. Edward Bazalgette directs, and you can enjoy the trailer below.
