Upcoming Fifteenth Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, has said it would ‘be an honour’ to share the screen with John Boyega in Doctor Who.
John Boyega, who’s no stranger to the sci-fi landscape, has revealed that he would love to feature in beloved British series Doctor Who. The Star Wars alum assured that he would love to make a cameo appearance in the show during an interview with Radio Times Magazine, where he stated “get me in an episode where I’m one of the many Doctors in many timelines so I can just cameo it. Or I’d be the assistant, whatever. I’d show up – but just for one episode”
While discussing the improvement of diversity and representation in the industry, the actor praised Ncuti Gatwa, saying: “It is opening up. You get inspired by things like Ncuti Gatwa playing the Doctor in Doctor Who – that is special to me.”
The prospect of Boyega joining the TARDIS clearly excited Gatwa too as the Fifteenth Doctor took to Instagram to share the comment with his followers.
