Ncuti Gatwa, who will play the fifteenth Doctor on Disney+, has debuted his first image. The Sex Education actor will play Ruby Sunday alongside Millie Gibson in the British science fiction series Doctor Who.
On Saturday, the official Doctor Who Twitter account posted two images. One had a doctor’s outfit designed by Ncuti Gatwa in his distinctive fashion sense. The physician for Gatwa was dressed in a matching brown checkered suit and a vibrant orange shirt.
The second image featured Millie Gibson’s Ruby Sunday as Ruby Sunday’s newest companion alongside Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor. Ruby Sunday, played by Gibson, dons a more casual ensemble of blue shorts, a white shirt, and a jean jacket.
It is confirmed that both celebrities will be part of the core cast of the forthcoming Doctor Who season. “Introducing the Doctor and Ruby Sunday, as portrayed by Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson,” was the caption used with the images.
Doctor Who Shares the Video of Doctor and Ruby Sunday’s First Look
In addition, the Doctor Who official Twitter account posted a humorous video of Gatwa and Gibson flaunting their good looks in a parking lot. Gatwa said in the video, “I’m about to unveil Ruby Sunday to you all,” before revealing the appearance of Millie Gibson’s persona.
By snatching Gatwa’s phone and providing the first live glimpse of the new Doctor’s orange outfit, Gibson did the same for her co-star. This is the doctor’s appearance, she said. Out and away! “Ready to start filming,” Gatwa affirmed as the video came to an end.
Reaction from the Showrunner and the Others
Gatwa will serve as the Doctor going forward after replacing Jodie Whittaker, who has held the position since 2018. But after reappearing for the part a second time, fan favorite David Tennant played the 14th Doctor in the program.
But afterwards, Gatwa’s role as the fifteenth Doctor for the upcoming season was confirmed by the show’s creator, Russell T. Davies. “The journey to Ncuti’s Fifteenth Doctor is loaded with intrigue, horror, robots, puppets, danger, and fun,” the showrunner claimed.
As a result of his success in the Netflix series Sex Education, Ncuti Gatwa is well-known. The actor said he was “truly honored, beyond excited, and of course a little bit afraid” when Gatwa’s name was initially announced. The actor added, “I may only have one heart, but I am giving it all to this show, unlike the Doctor, who has many.”
Gatwa’s Doctor is expected to succeed, according to the 13th Doctor Jodie Whittaker. “I simply think it’s the most fascinating casting, because no matter how this goes, he’s going to bring on such a massive following that won’t have seen Doctor Who,” she said in a conversation with EW.
Where to watch Doctor Who’s Next Journey?
For the 60th anniversary of the franchise, Catherine Tate will reprise her role, as announced by David Tennant’s return to the role of the Doctor. However, there are few specifics about Tate’s function that are known.
In the two-part Christmas special “The End of Time” from 2010, both actors made their final appearances in Doctor Who. In the later half of 2023, Disney+ will offer streaming access to the well-known British science fiction program Doctor Who. The upcoming series’ brand-new episodes will also have their BBC debut that year.
