The Big Picture Jinkx Monsoon just stormed into Doctor Who as one of the best new villains the show has introduced in years. Playing the nonbinary trickster god of music, Maestro, Monsoon stole the show in "The Devil's Chord." Stomping around in Liberace-inspired outfits and stealing songs out of the hearts of musical geniuses, Maestro is revealed to be directly descended from the Toymaker.

One thing that Maestro and Missy definitely have in common is their lack of fear, practically laughing in the face of the Doctor. She continued, saying: So, I took that into playing the Maestro. Here's this over the top character who controls music, who moves like a ballet dancer, I decided , but they still have something real to them. There's still gotta be a truth to them. What I've learned from my favorite female actors, especially character actors, is how to make big decisions seem real by grounding them in something true for the character.

New episodes of Doctor Who arrive on Disney+ every Friday at 7 PM ET. Stay tuned at Collider for my full chat with Monsoon.
