Just ahead of the two-episode premiere of Doctor Who tonight on Disney+, two new clips have been shared from the second episode, “The Devil’s Chord,” featuring Jinkx Monsoon as the wickedly villainous Maestro.
What’s Happening:
- In the first newly released clip, we’re introduced to the story’s wonderful villain, Maestro, who describes themself as being music itself.
- Maestro is seen talking a Mr. Timothy Drake (Jeremy Limb), a supposed genius who was able to find “the lost chord.”
- Just from this short clip, we see how Jinkx Monsoon immediately commands attention and takes over the scene with massive charisma and terrifying charm.
- Watch the first clip for yourself below.
- The second clip focuses on the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Ruby’s (Millie Gibson) first encounter with Maestro.
- Hearing the same “giggle” from his encounter with the Toymaker (in “The Giggle”), the Doctor is immediately concerned and actually pretty terrified of this new foe, something he openly shows to Ruby as they hide.
- See the Doctor and Ruby attempt to escape from Maestro in the clip below.
About Doctor Who:
