Ncuti Gatwa, previously renowned for Netflix’s Sex Education, has added another feather to his cap after being cast in Disney+’s upcoming series, Doctor Who.
A magical police phone call booth, at the crux of a world of neon hues. Equipped with reflexes sharpened with time, Gatwa stars as the protagonist, Doctor Who, a time traveler with the world at his fingertips. Donning numerous avatars as he bends and moves through time, the Doctor’s adventures are sure to be delightful and worth the audience’s while.
There is, however, one catch. Who cannot do anything but stand by as his companions turn into hybrid creatures with pointed fins and gills. Snippets show temporal references to the future, a Bridgerton-esque past, and a greeting by the witch from Hocus Pocus. A figure eerily similar to Dart Vader looms in the background as a danger, but so does Godzilla!
The teaser seems to be the craziest multiverse. Which is to say, not only do our protagonists need to survive one or two supervillains, they need to dodge numerous! Will they lose themselves to space and time? Or arrive in worlds lost to hunger and crime? Will companionship persevere through a multitude of possibilities? Or will it also fall prey to an enemy?
Questions we all need answers to. Everything is possible. Be on the lookout from May 10 as Doctor Who comes to your screens too!
