Here it is! Capaldi's costume finally revealed!
I quite like it actually! Gives me a Doctor Strange vibe for some reason

Capaldi is not the Doctor. What if he is the Valeyard? According to The Master (an unreliable source of information if ever there was), the Valeyard came in to being at some point during or before the Twelfth Doctor's regeneration into Thirteen. However, now that we know about the War Doctor, Matt is the twelfth incarnation of the Doctor, just the eleventh to call himself as such. Furthermore, there is a gap in what the viewer is presented. After his mega-regeneration destroyed the Dalek fleet, we next see him through Clara's perspective, in the TARDIS. We do not see what transpired between the energy wave and that point. Perhaps he split into two - the as yet unseen Twelve, and the Valeyard played by Capaldi. The tear-inducing farewell we saw with Matt's Doctor? Just a ruse to engender trust with this companion. The delayed regeneration, the snap-to effect? Just the Valeyard assuming a new disguise. After all, wasn't he shown to be able to do that back in Colin's era, shifting from the supposed prosecutor, to the Keeper of the Matrix....
I tell you, having the real Doctor show up to reclaim what's rightfully his at the end of the season would be the most amazing twist ever.
