As we get nearer to Physician Who‘s Sixtieth-anniversary specials, there’s numerous confusion concerning how concerned our new Physician, Ncuti Gatwa, shall be. Trailers have marketed David Tennant’s return and others because the spotlight, whereas Gatwa solely has a small presence with the identical second typically inserted into every trailer. Now, now we have extra proof that alludes to his position presumably being greater than anticipated, or maybe, it is one thing else totally. All of it comes from Yasmin Finney who has me questioning what this implies for the present after she acknowledged she acted with him.
Yasmin Finney, who will play Donna Noble’s daughter Rose within the Sixtieth-anniversary specials, spoke to Elle about working with Ncuti Gatwa. Whereas she’s talked about this beforehand and had us questioning in regards to the Fifteenth Physician’s involvement within the specials, these newest feedback make it extra deliberate that they are going to share scenes collectively sooner or later sooner or later:
You’ll be able to look ahead to numerous scary issues. I believe once you consider Physician Who, you consider the scariest episode, the weeping angels. It’s the scariest episode in historical past and the preferred. I believe on this collection, I used to be scared once I noticed among the issues. It’s shivers down your backbone. However, I can’t let you know an excessive amount of. What I can say is it’s going to be filled with scares, full of snickers, filled with all of it. To behave with Ncuti Gatwa is simply superb as a result of we’re each very younger as effectively, and it’s simply very nice to have that. He’s making historical past actually, and I’m simply actually glad to be part of his world.
This appears like express affirmation that Yasmin Finney and Ncuti Gatwa have scenes collectively, which may imply a couple of issues. Let’s discuss by way of the probabilities beneath and why this can make tuning into Physician Who with a Disney+ subscription later this yr all of the extra thrilling.
Ncuti Gatwa May Play A Larger Function As The Physician In The Sixtieth-Anniversary
Based mostly on what we have seen up to now, it did not initially appear to be Ncuti Gatwa was closely concerned in Physician Who‘s Sixtieth anniversary. He wasn’t seen at any of the general public filmings, and as talked about, David Tennant’s return was extremely publicized. The Intercourse Training star was additionally filming on the set of Barbie when these scenes have been shot, so it was assumed his position could be small.
If Gatwa filmed with Yasmin Finney, we will not less than speculate that he’ll bodily seem as The Physician within the “actual world” of Physician Who somewhat than in some dream sequence or one thing related. Whether or not this implies Tennant’s Physician will regenerate into Gatwa’s, or there’s a while journey or different wibbly-wobbly weirdness occurring is one other query totally. With that being mentioned, nevertheless, it does appear to be if Gatwa acted with Finney, his position is likely to be meatier than what has been marketed to date.
Will Yasmin Finney Be part of Physician Who Season 14 As A Companion?
One other chance to think about is that Yasmin Finney is an unannounced companion for Physician Who Season 14. Proper now, we all know Millie Gibson is confirmed to be a companion of The Physician when Ncuti Gatwa’s season formally begins, but it surely’s potential there might be one other. A number of companions will not be unusual for a Physician, nevertheless, the Heartstopper star’s feedback have me questioning if her involvement in Season 14 is a secret we cannot find out about till after the specials conclude.
As for why that may be a secret, it is potential it pertains to the plot of Physician Who‘s anniversary specials. Who is aware of for sure what Russell T. Davies is planning on this new period of the long-running collection, which can reportedly get a finances improve below the Disney+ partnership. In any case, I am excited to listen to that we could get a greater have a look at Gatwa’s Physician than initially thought.
Physician Who will premiere on Disney+ with new episodes kicking off the Sixtieth-anniversary celebration in November 2023.
