DW Cast Members in Other Roles.
While we do get the occasional thread about certain cast members in other projects I thought we might as well have a general one.
So to start off. Karen Gillen has been cast in the lead Villain role of Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy. |

I really can't see her as a villain but look forward to seeing if she has range.

I found it in a charity shop for £4. It was priced at £4 because it was every episode ever broadcast on 4 DVDs. The condition of the discs are quite good. Haven't got round to seeing Campion yet, though. It has also got Brian Glover in it, and he was in Attack of the Cybermen. Maurice Colebourne was in AOTC too. He was also in Howard's Way between 1985 & 1989 |

Slight correction, she's playing lead female villain rather than lead villain overall, but that's still a massive gig and will hopefully lead to others for her.

Karen Gillian is also the lead in a forthcoming romantic comedy called Not Another Happy Ending, which is the closing night film of this years Edinburgh film fest, this suggests it's a good film. (Well at least the EIFF programmers like it)

Really hoping that this Guardians of the Galaxy info is right, always wanted to see her take on both a villain role and a comic book movie. Also, and it's early so someone please check me on this, wouldn't she be the first lead female villain of the Marvel Movie Universe? |

I've just finished watching the entire run of the Survivors remake and I noticed a few in there. Namely Freema Agyeman, Patterson Joseph (who was in the series 1 finale) and Roger Lloyd-Pack (Lumic from Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel). Also Paul Copley and Nikki Amuka-Bird who were both in Torchwood.
ETA: Not to mention Shaun Dingwall (Pete Tyler). |

I'm currently watching Lalla Ward as the future Elizabeth I in The Prince and The Pauper (1977).
Oh and I saw Noel Clarke in Star Trek Into Darkness yesterday as well. |

Well it's only been on general sale for 4 hours and the stalls are about 2/3rds sold, and it's a fairly big theatre (yes, theatre, not just a cinema screen), so your laughter seems a little premature. Of course there are plenty more tickets to sell, but a lot have sold since I booked this morning.
And seeing as how I'm busy that day and can't go, I hope she doesn't turn up. They've not officially said KG is gonna be there have they? I presume she will be, but I'd laugh if Guardians of the Galaxy required her then. ![]()
