At MCM London Comic Con, Dan Slott phoned in an interview with Titan Comics VP Andrew Sumner about the Doctor Who 2022 Special. He talked at length about the origins of the Spider-Verse, and his history as a Doctor Who fan and how, as a comic book writer, he has wanted to do Doctor Who comic books forever. That, whenever he was at shows (often going to meet Doctor Who actors) Titan Comics would always try to get him to write Doctor Who comic books but he was Marvel-exclusive for any work-for-hire comic books.
He even tried to get Titan, Marvel and the BBC to publish a Doctor Who/Spider-Man crossover, and he has the stories ready, but in the end he said "Marvel was happy being Marvel". He states that they said "maybe you can create a Doctor Who-like character?" but that's not the same. Although, to be fair, Dan Slott has introduced a lot of Docytor Who elements in his Marvel Comics along the way, especially the comparison between Time Lords and Watchers in his recent Reckoning War.
"I would love characters to meet from the different universes. It's impossible not to see Morlun and think that he is The Master." In his planned series, Curt Connor's serum wouldn't be turning him into a Lizard but a proto-Silurian. There would have been five one-shot stories, each with The Doctor and Peter Parker as his companion. Maybe you'll be able to tease out more at subsequent conventions or interviews?
