Karen Gillan Joins Cast of Guardians of the Galaxy

It’s been a busy few weeks for Guardians of the Galaxy. Not only did Glenn Close agree to be the leader of Nova Corps, John C Reilly will also be our new somewhat Agent Coulson, and another huge announcement was made just today.

Doctor Who alum, Karen Gillan, has signed on to costar in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy. While there is no word yet as to the actual character she will be playing, it has been revealed that she will be the lead female villain alongside already announced Michael Rooker and Lee Pace. Speculation is running rampant online as to what character she will portray, and while many think it would be great to see her as Death, it doesn’t seem likely that the motivation for Thanos’ actions would make an appearance so early, or that she would be sharing the limelight with other, lesser, bad guys.

What do you think; who will Karen Gillan be in Guardians of the Galaxy? Let us know in the comments below!
