澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy star Karen Gillan has revealed who she'd like to play in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn's DCU.

"I always thought that Poison Ivy was really fun. So maybe ⛄something like that would be cool," she says in the new issue of with Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny on the cover. "Honestly, if James asked me to play an alien that sits in the background of a shot and doesn’t talk, I would say yes [laughs]. Because working with him has been one of the great joys of my career so far."

The actor plays Nebula in the Marvel Cinematic Univers💛e, daughter of Thanos and sis🔜ter to Gamora (played by Zoe Saldaña).

Gillan goes on to call the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise the "gift that keeps on giving," because she didn't think her tenure as Nebula would last very long: "I was under the impression I was signing up for eight days of filming on the first film. And then 🐓it just gradually kept gett🥃ing extended. And here we are, nine or 10 years later."

The actor played the antihero turned Guardians member in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Infinity War, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Thor: Love and Thunder.

As Gua꧂rdians director James Gunn shifts his focus to DC Studios, Gillan doesn't know what the future holds for Nebula. "I just genuinely love this character so much, and I feel like there’s just an endless amount of things tha✃t could be done with her," she goes on to say. "So, yeah, I would obviously love to explore more, but I don’t know if that’s going to happen. I’m waiting to see just as much as everyone else [laughs]."

Gillan is also known for her role as Amy Pond in the Doctor Who🎐 franchise, a primary companion to the Eleventh Doctor played by Matt Smith.

Guardians of the Gal♍axy 3, which concludes the popular trilogy, hits theaters on May 3 in the UK and May 5 in the US.
