Karen Gillan on Gunpowder Milkshake, What If…?, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and Thor 4

With director Navot Papushado’s Gunpowder Milkshake now streaming on Netflix, I recently spoke with Karen Gillan about being part of the action-packed and violent thriller. During the wide-ranging and fun interview, she shared some cool behind-the-scenes stories about the making of the film, revealed her obsession with the TV show Friends, teased how Nebula will be very different in the upcoming Disney+ series What If…?, and more.

In addition, with Gillan set to co-star in Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder, she said the movie pushes the comedy even further:
“My reaction reading the script was excitement. It was like this is gonna be a hell of a ride. It’s Taika at his best and his most Taika. The Guardians in it I think are just hilarious, and also Thor is even more hilarious than he was the last time.”

Finally, while Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is currently in pre-production and isn't due to start filming until later this year, Gillan revealed her reaction to first reading James Gunn's script for the sequel:
“I read that script with Pom Klementieff, who plays Mantis. We read it together and we both cried and laughed, but there was full tears. It’s incredible, I think it’s James’ strongest work yet with the Guardians and it’s just brilliant. It’s brilliant and it’s emotional and it’s funny and it’s all of those things that you want.”
