Liu joked that Gatwa was far better at keeping a secret than he was. He said that Marvel President Kevin Feige asked him not to even tell his family when he was cast as Shang-Chi, but he told his best friend right away. “It’s too big of news to keep with you,” he said. He laughed about Tom Holland not being able to keep Marvel secrets, either. 

Everything else about the upcoming “Doctor Who” season is being kept under wraps, and it’s clear that we can’t tell Simu Liu anything about it. How the heck do you not mention it, though, if you’re cast? Wouldn’t you be buying everything in Tardis blue and waving around a sonic screwdriver like a lightsaber? I cannot wait to see Gatwa in the role, what the new inside of the Tardis looks like, and who the companions are. This is all so exciting! Gatwa is the first Black actor to take on the main role, and with his new season comes the return of writer Russell T. Davies.

Gatwa is known for his turn in the Netflix series “Sex Education.” Gatwa will appear in season 14 of “Doctor Who,” which is set to premiere in 2023.
