Karen Gillan gave Hollywood writer director James Gunn the ultimate wrap present after he complained of actors with certain habits on the set of her new Marvel and Disney film.
Karen Gillan had to ditch action hero run for new film Dual
15.04.2022 - 14:39 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Karen Gillan says she had to unlearn her action hero moves for new film Dual - and revealed she can no longer wear contact lenses for her characters.
The Avengers and Jumanji star Karen's latest film comes out today and sees her playing Sarah, a terminally ill woman who clones herself to help her loved ones cope with her death. However, when she goes into remission, the law says she has to battle her double for the right to be Sarah.
Karen has spent years training to be an action hero, but claims she had to unlearn her slickest moves to play the Dual role.
She told The Hollywood Reporter : "I remember really working on my run over the years and making sure that I’ve got a hand position that’s not too straight, but it’s open enough to where it looks cool.
"And then I remember having to run on the treadmill when Sarah was working out for the first time, and I was like, “I can’t do my action hero run. That’s not going to look good.
"So I had to revert back to my original run, which was much more flailing around, limbs everywhere. So it was nice to revisit that and see how far I’ve come."
Karen, who has done all sorts of daredevil stunts for her action roles like Guardians of the Galaxy over the years, also admitted she isn't that brave in real life.
She said: "If I threw a grenade at myself, I might freeze in fear rather than dive away. I’ve just seen myself on roller coasters and I don’t know what to do.
"I’m so scared that I go really limp and shut my eyes and put my head on the next person’s shoulder, which is really uncomfortable for them, I’m sure.
"But it’s a really weird thing I do when I’m scared. I turn into a possum and just go limp."
The Inverness born actress also revealed she can no longer wear contact lenses on set

‘The Bubble': Karen Gillan Didn’t Ask Chris Pratt for Insight While Filming, but ‘Should Have’
“The Bubble” may have been partially inspired by the struggles of filming “Jurassic World: Dominion,” but Karen Gillan didn’t actually ask Chris Pratt for any firsthand accounts from his time on set while they were filming. She wishes she would have, though.The comedy, starring Gillan and a whole slew of other famous faces, tells the story of a group of actors trying to film “Cliff Beasts 6” at the height of the COVID pandemic. Of course, because of that, their production starts up and shuts down multiple times, trapping the cast in London for months.

‘The Bubble’ Review: Judd Apatow’s Pandemic Filmmaking Blockbuster Comedy Is An Epic Disaster
“For once in my life, I wanted to make a movie without having all the responsibilities.” So moans Jeff, the director on the film-within-a-film in Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s “Beware of a Holy Whore.” The West German drama sequesters a movie crew in a coastal Spanish hotel, where the combination of cabin fever and psychological discord between a group of insecure, neurotic people breeds the rarefied level of hysteria only found in show business.
