Karen Gillan has scored a number of dream roles throughout her career, from playing Nebula in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, to playing Groundskeeper Willie’s Scottish love interest in “The Simpsons,” which she said was a part she was “born to play,” or at least voice, per Instagram. But Gillan has her sights set on a few more roles that would also be career highs.
Having already starred in the MCU, Gillan would be keen to join the DC Universe next. Of course, this wouldn’t be too big a leap with her long-time collaborator, James Gunn, at the helm. In terms of the character she’d want to play, Gillan has her heart set on two villains. She’d love to portray a female version of the Joker in a “Batman” movie or Gotham City botanist-turned-rogue Poison Ivy.
Gillan has villainous ambitions for another major movie franchise, too. She hopes to one day land a part in a “James Bond” movie. “My dad used to tell me when I was younger, ‘You don’t want to be a Bond girl, you want to be a villain’. That stuck with me,” Gillan told Interview Magazine.
