John Boyega would "love" a Doctor Who cameo as another Doctor
The Star Wars alumni wants to swap the Millennium Falcon for the TARDIS in a one-off episode.
We've seen the likes of John Hurt, Jo Martin and David Bradley pop up as versions of the Doctor in the BBC sci-fi franchise, but now John Boyega is hoping to be the next short-term iteration of the Time Lord in a future episode of Doctor Who.
Speaking to this week's issue of Radio Times magazine, the Star Wars lead said that he would "love" a cameo in the long-running BBC show as a one-off role.
When asked whether diversity and representation is improving in the film and TV industry, the 31-year-old said: "It is opening up. You get inspired by things like Ncuti Gatwa playing the Doctor in Doctor Who – that is special to me.
"The glass ceiling can’t limit us. It’s exciting to see what comes out of this new stage of film-making and entertainment."
As for whether he'd take a role in Doctor Who, he added: "I would love that! But get me in an episode where I’m one of the many Doctors in many timelines so I can just cameo it.
