NCUTI Gatwa says he is thrilled to be bringing “his beautiful blackness” to the role of Doctor Who this Christmas.
The Scots star, 31, was asked what was different about his version of the Time Lord at a screening yesterday.
He said: “It is such a hard question to answer because the role of the Doctor is everything anyway.
“He is an explorer who has been around for a billion years, so they have so many quirks and intricacies, rage and joy and they are full of a lot of emotions.
“So to pick what I was going to bring out differently is a very hard question to answer. I guess myself, my black beautiful self. I bring my blackness.”
The Rwanda-born actor follows on from guest star Jo Martin, who appeared as the “fugitive” Doctor in 2021 and was hailed as the first black actor to command the TARDIS at the time.
