- Ncuti Gatwa became the 15th Doctor in December 2023, marking the first openly queer Black actor to take on the iconic role.
- His debut season begins with a two-part premiere on Disney+, introducing a storyline that intertwines the Doctor’s origins with contemporary issues.
- Previous Doctors ranged from David Tennant’s balanced depth to Peter Capaldi’s gruff wisdom and Jodie Whittaker’s divisive tenure.
- Gatwa’s portrayal blends emotional vulnerability with style, presenting a Doctor who embodies both levity and profound humanity for modern audiences.
No way. You’re me! No, I’m me. I think I’m really, really me!— From the 15th Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) in Doctor Who, first words in 'The Church on Ruby Road'
