Sophie Okonedo is apparently set to appear in the new series of Doctor Who.
The Hotel Rwanda actress - who recently portrayed Winnie Mandela for a BBC drama - will feature in the second episode of the new series, according to The Sun.
The newspaper claimed she had already secretly filmed some scenes for the show, and that she will play a character called Liz Ten.
A source told the newspaper: "Getting Sophie on board is a huge coup for the BBC."
Sophie has already provided a voiceover for the sci-fi hit, for the character of Alison Cheney in the 2003 mini-series Scream Of The Shalka.
