“Doctor Who”: Steven Moffat calls Nicuti Gatwa “magnificent”

The iconic former showrunner of the “Doctor Who” series Steven Moffat praised Ncuti Gatwa, an actor who is expected to live the new version of the famous character.

Ncuti Gatwa became famous for his role in “Sex Education” and was recently announced as the new incarnation of Doctor Who.

Now, Steven Moffat, who was the six-season showrunner of the famous and long-running British science fiction series, has spoken about Gatwa and how he reacted to the actor’s audition for the role in an interview with Empire. “[O novo showrunner da série] Russel [T Davies] showed me the audition tape, “Moffat said.”[Gatwa] he’s great: both a brand new hero and the same wonderful, crazy old doctor we’ve always known. “

The announcement that Gatwa will be the 14th Doctor in history was released in May 2022 and the actor has already revealed that he had to hide the secret for a few months. She will inherit the role of Jodie Whittaker, who played the Doctor for three seasons. Ncuti Gatwa is the first black actor to play the character in the main series and the second after Jo Martin, who played the role in “Fugitive Doctor” in 2020.

Current showrunner Russell T Davies previously commented on Ncuti Gatwa, classifying him as a “bright, bold and radiant” talent and said he was cast seconds after leaving Davies and the show’s producers “stunned”. He also said that working with the actor is an honor and that he is looking forward to the premiere of the new “Doctor Who”.

Ncuti Gatwa’s debut in “Doctor Who” does not yet have a fixed date.
