During a Q&A at Google Pixel 3 Curiosity Rooms in Piccadilly Circus, London on Friday evening, John Boyega paid tribute to Doctor Who’s Jodie Whittaker, with whom he worked on his very first film (2011’s Attack the Block).
“I’m so proud of her when I hear that she is the first female Doctor Who,” Boyega, said.
“That’s what I’m talking about! It’s brilliant to see a character – that can change and morph into and gain new life in search of time and history – is being revamped again.”
Also describing to interviewer Femi Oguns how during his time making Attack the Block the younger cast called her “Mrs Whittaker” in an attempt to make her feel old, Boyega went on to reveal that he hoped to work with the 36-year-old again some day – even if he wasn’t sure about turning up in Doctor Who itself.
“I don’t know about Doctor Who but I would love to work with her again,” he said.
“Definitely. 100%.”
