Zoe Saldana Wants Doctor Who Role, Fights Karen Gillan in Guardians of the Galaxy


Star Trek, Avatar and Guardians of the Galaxy actress Zoe Sladana has said how much she would love to appear in Doctor Who during a new interview with Den of Geek.

Den of Geek asked the Uhura actress “When are you going to secure your pension and do Doctor Who?” considering her other roles in cult franchises:

“Oh my god, that would be amazing. I would love it. I have an 11-year-old niece who is a die hard Whovian, and what made her year is that Karen Gillan sent her a video of her going hi. My niece knows every single actor from the beginnings of the show. She dresses like a Whovian every day, that blue colour. It would be wonderful for me to be in Doctor Who. I’d be cool forever to her.”

The definitely needs to happen.. and Zoe’s credentials may have been boosted even further as she shares a fight scene with our very own Karen Gillan!

The Doctor Who vs. Star Trek scrap was “intense” to shoot as Karen Gillan tells Metro:

“We shot that for four days straight. The days are long and we just did it for four days and then we also did two extra days of additional shooting just to add to it and make it even cooler. It was a lot. I had to train for a long time to be able to get to that point because we had to be able to do the entire fight ourselves and then they’d just switch us in and out with stunt doubles. It was really intense.”

Guardians of the Galaxy is released on July 31 in the United Kingdom and August 1 in the United States.
