| Marvel woos ‘Doctor Who’ redhead for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Posted: 03 Jun 2013 08:11 AM PDT
Karen Gillian, a 25-year-old Scottish redhead, made her breakthrough portraying Amy Pond for three seasons in the BBC science fiction series "Doctor Who." She is now going to play one of the most formidable foes in this film by James Gunn ("Super"), though the exact role remains under wraps. The "Guardians of the Galaxy" are Avengers, of sorts, from all four corners of the universe. Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista will be tasked with popularizing Star-Lord, Gamora and Drax the Destroyer, heroes drawn from the Marvel Comics catalog, though less famous than, say, Iron Man, Captain America or Thor, who've already been beamed onto the silver screen. Glenn Close, John C. Reilly and Lee Pace will also be cast in this feature film, which is slated to start shooting in late June. "Guardians of the Galaxy" is scheduled for worldwide theatrical release from August 1, 2014. ― AFP-Relaxnews |
