"Doctor Who" actor Ncuti Gatwa is the latest to join the voice cast of “Bad Fairies”, an animated musical from Warner Bros. Animation and Locksmith Animation.
Joining Cynthia Erivo, who was cast as the voice of Jayne Staplegun last month, Gatwa will also voice a role in the original musical comedy that follows a delightfully subversive gang of fairies as they shake up their magical world.
While details of Gatwa’s character are not yet known, Erivo’s Jayne is described as a trailblazing fairy whose defiant streak sparks a rebellion.
