Ncuti Gatwa has revealed a surprising choice for the \u201cultimate\u201d villain that he wants his incarnation of the Doctor to face in the next season of Doctor Who<\/a>.<\/p>\n The actor participated in a brief Q&A about the show, following his debut in a fleeting teaser<\/a> that dropped after The Power of the Doctor<\/a> brought the Whittaker\/Chibnall era to a close.<\/p>\n When quizzed on his villain wish list, Gatwa first mentioned the Weeping Angels, adding that they\u2019re \u201calways a classic\u201d and \u201cgenuinely terrifying\u201d \u2013 but his second answer is likely to raise some eyebrows.<\/p>\n He then names The Beast as the \u201cultimate\u201d villain, a demonic foe that first appeared in Russell T Davies\u2019s second season of Doctor Who in a two-parter titled The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit.<\/p> \u201cI would love to battle The Beast because what an ultimate villain. That is the devil and I don\u2019t think you get much more evil than that,\u201d said Gatwa.<\/p>\n The character hasn\u2019t made another television appearance since that 2006 storyline, making it a rather obscure reference for the top choice. Could it be a sign that Davies is bringing the hideous monster back? We\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n Gatwa went on to say that he\u2019s \u201cso excited\u201d to play the Doctor and revealed that if he had a TARDIS, he would take it to Nigeria to meet a set of mythological gods known as the Orisha.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, it\u2019s daunting. It\u2019s an iconic role and show, and I\u2019m following in some very big footsteps, but I cannot wait to put my stamp on the character,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n \u201cWith every new Doctor comes a new beginning for the show, and there are some extraordinary storylines for this season, so I\u2019m going to be very, very busy.\u201d<\/p>\n Watch the full Q&A with Ncuti Gatwa<\/a> \u2013 now set to be the Fifteenth Doctor after David Tennant\u2019s return<\/a> \u2013 in the tweet embedded below.<\/p>\n Ncuti Gatwa, the next Doctor, joins us to answer some questions about all things #DoctorWho<\/a> \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2795???? pic.twitter.com\/6Z4aGH5XqV<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Doctor Who (@bbcdoctorwho) October 25, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
