I wonder where Marvel is going to cast David Tennant, Billie Piper or Matt Smith.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/heat-vision\/doctor-who-star-joins-marvels-561293\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> is saying that Gillan, who starred as the popular companion Amy Pond on BBC&#8217;s Doctor Who from 2010 to 2012, will be joining <strong>Guardians of the Galaxy<\/strong> in the as yet unnamed role of a lead villain of the film.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s anybody&#8217;s guess who she will be playing. She could be playing Nebula, she could be playing Thanos&#8217; consort, Death. Who knows?<\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s throw out a hypothesis, shall we? Okay, we know Michael Rooker is playing Yondu, who in this film is a villain but in comics was a Guardian. Lee Pace is also playing a villain who apparently turns to the side of good and is being set up for a spin-off. He was also rumored to be in the running for the leader of the Guardians when casting began. The Guardians had two leaders: Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) and Vance Astro. Astro was Yondu&#8217;s team leader. Gillan has fiery red hair. Astro&#8217;s and Yondu&#8217;s teammate Nikki had hair made of fire.<\/p>\n<p>Could the present day comic book Guardians be facing off against the future-set comic book Guardians?<\/p>\n<p>Just throwing that out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">One of the more popular companions in recent history joins James Gunn&#8217;s film.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2013\/05\/31\/doctor-whos-karen-gillan-to-star-as-guardians-of-the-galaxy-villain\/\" title=\"DOCTOR WHO&#8217;s Karen Gillan To Star As GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Villain\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":28504,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[6469,5479,1788,4406,3281,3698,6470,6349,5400],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-28503","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-billie-piper","9":"tag-christopher-eccleston","10":"tag-david-tennant","11":"tag-guardians-of-the-galaxy","12":"tag-karen-gillan","13":"tag-lee-pace","14":"tag-matt-smith","15":"tag-michael-rooker","16":"tag-thor-the-dark-world"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28503"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28503\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28503"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=28503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
