Karen Gillan Nebula – Guardians of the Galaxy
She appeared as Nebula, an adopted daughter of Thanos in Guardians of the Galaxy, a 2014 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name. Nebula was raised as Gamora’s sibling and works as a loyal lieutenant for Ronan and Thanos. Gillan said of the character, “She is the film’s female antagonist… She is very sadistic and evil, but I believe for a very good reason.” She also stated, “I think she’s a fascinating character. What I enjoy playing with is how envious she is. She is Gamora’s sister, and there is a lot of sibling rivalry between them. That’s the most intriguing aspect to me, because jealousy has the power to consume you and turn you bitter and ugly. And she’s a total sadist, so that’s entertaining as well.” Gillan researched the ancient Spartans, shaved her head, and trained for the role for two months. It took about four and a half hours to apply the character’s makeup.
Karen Gillan Jumanji
In the 2017 film Jumanji, she portrayed Ruby Roundhouse, the video game version of Martha. Ruby Roundhouse is a playable character in the video game version of “JUMANJI,” appearing in “Welcome to the Jungle” and “The Next Level” as Martha Kaply’s chosen avatar.
In the game, Ruby Roundhouse is described as a “killer of men” who is skilled in Karate, Tai’Chi, Aikido, and Dance fighting. Her “Dance Fighting” ability is somewhat misleading; the martial art Capoeira is frequently referred to as dance fighting, whereas Roundhouse’s ability is simply fighting to the music. The Mountain Fortress Adventure added nunchucks to her arsenal.
Karen Gillan Doctor Who
She portrayed the Soothsayer in the Doctor Who television story The Fires of Pompeii, as well as Amy Pond between Series 5 and 7. In 79 AD, a soothsayer was a member of the Sibylline Sisterhood in Pompeii. The soothsayer had cult eyes painted on the backs of her hands. She was the first of the Sisterhood to see the TARDIS, or “Blue Box,” which had appeared in a prophecy; she had psychic powers from breathing in Vesuvius dust, which was converting her into a Pyrovile, and she could see through time due to the rift activity there.
Amelia Jessica “Amy” Pond was the girlfriend and later wife of nurse Rory Williams, as well as the mother of Melody Pond, who later became known as River Song. Amy died before 2012, at the age of 87, after allowing a Weeping Angel to send her back in time in the hopes of reuniting with her husband, who had just been attacked by the same Angel. She was buried alongside Rory in a New York City cemetery.
