Eric Effiong’s time traveling, universe cavorting extravaganza is on! From Netflix’s Sex Education to Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, and now BBC’s decades-old time converge- the 30-year-old Rwandan-Scottish actor has certainly pulled a Millie Bobby Brown, and fans find it “dope.” Right from the titillating world of Sex Education, Eric Effiong aka Ncuti Gatwa is graduating to the fantastic realm of Doctor Who.
Almost a year ago, Twittteratis had a peak fan moment when rumors already announced him as the brand new Doctor in the British Television series. And now that he is actually reprising the role, fans cannot contain their excitement.

While Gatwa’s Eric had a lively disposition about himself, his 2000-year-old mysterious time-traveling, universe-jumping doctor is just another level. He will apparently be playing the fifteenth doctor in the 26-season plus series. And even though Gatwa will make his big screen debut as the time-traveling geek somewhere in 2024, people already got to see his first look in classic 80s attire.
Now, just as the hype was beginning to settle, Twitteratis have yet another reason to be excited about his casting. The very first Doctor Who poster featuring Ncuti Gatwa is here, and it certainly is a jaw-on-the-floor moment!
