Jodie Whittaker shares her feelings on Ncuti Gatwa taking over as Doctor Who. 'It's inspired casting. He's gonna smash it.'
Jodie Whittaker reacts to the casting of Ncuti Gatwa in Doctor Who. Whittaker played the Thirteenth and most recent Doctor on the popular British sci-fi series. She joined Doctor Who in 2017, becoming the first woman ever to play the Time Lord. Though her main seasons as the Time Lord have ended, Whittaker will appear as The Doctor for one last time in the 60th anniversary special, which is titled “The Power of the Doctor.
Taking over for Whittaker is Sex Education star Gatwa. Gatwa’s casting as the Fourteenth Doctor has been a much-hyped element of the show’s upcoming season. Gatwa’s Doctor Who casting was announced in May. As in the case of Whittaker, Gatwa’s casting is historic. He will be the first Black person to play the Time Lord. Gatwa’s co-star also represents a win for representation. BBC cast young actress Yasmin Finney in the role of the new character named Rose.
"Luckily, enough time had passed between finishing shooting and finding out about the new Doctor for me to just feel pure excitement about it. It's inspired casting. He's gonna smash it. Unfortunately for Ncuti, he gave me his number. So he's getting eight- minute monologues from me on WhatsApp." Whittaker's Praise Bodes Well for Gatwa's Performance Gatwa’s Doctor Who casting has been praised across the internet and among other prominent Doctor Who actors. David Tennant, who played the Tenth Doctor and will star in “The Power of the Doctor” special, took to Instagram following Gatwa’s casting announcement to praise the actor. Karen Gillan took to Twitter to praise Gatwa’s casting, posting an article announcing his lead role. Now, Whittaker adds to the love towards Gatwa’s Doctor.
Gatwa is still a newer actor to the scene. His first major part was in Sex Education, where he plays Eric Effiong. Gatwa is stunning in this Sex Education role, consistently bringing an effervescent spirit coupled with a stirring capacity for emotions. Davies and the other Doctor Who producers have identified this energy within Gatwa that will translate well to such an iconic role.
