There’s a lot to be hyped about with the project, and star Karen Gillan’s recent comments about the film only further raises expectations.That’s just one story featured in this latest edition of The King Beat – alongside a bit from my interview with Late Night With The Devil star David Dastmalchian…

When it comes to the life of a big-time movie star like Karen Gillan, one often gets a leg up in the presentation department. That's because a celebrity is often followed around by a small crew of stylists to get them looking beautiful for all their public appearances. However, the Guardians of the Galaxy alum recently went rogue right before a Q&A in London, as she shared a video that showed her cutting her own hair. And, in all honesty, I can totally relate to the chaotic energy the social media clip gives off.The…

Image via Warner Bros / Marvel Studios Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is doing its best to cure Marvel of its recent string of bad luck, but it’s only helping extend the even longer curse the DCU has been under, despite the threequel’s director being the latter franchise’s new CEO. Elsewhere, Karen Gillan might’ve goofed when she inadvertently encouraged a friend to sign up for an infamous Sony movie. Last but not least, the Scarlet Witch’s run as the MCU’s biggest gun might be over as a familiar face from…

Screengrab via Marvel Karen Gillan has always been a wonderful addition to the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and the MCU as a whole, but maybe her time in the superhero filmmaking scene hasn’t been as insightful as she’d hoped. At least, if Matt Smith has anything to say on the matter, Gillan should think twice before doling out advice on blockbuster films in the future. The two stars have been great pals ever since appearing as an iconic duo in Doctor Who, Matt Smith as the 11th incarnation of the titular…

Movie scripts are often written years before filming, and even after production wraps, every little detail is safeguarded until the final hour (think: The Blip). Sometimes, however, certain scenes or storylines are pulled at the last minute for one reason or another, leaving cast members who were privy to the now-secrets holding onto ticking time bombs. Which is exactly how Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 star Karen Gillan was left…

Image via Marvel They say that when you start therapy it is a commitment, and actor Karen Gillan appears to be taking that commitment very seriously. The Guardians of the Galaxy star posted a picture of her attending a session in pretty much full Nebula make-up, so we have to give props to her therapist if he was able to take this session seriously. The actress shared a screenshot of her online couples therapy session with her husband, Nick Kocher. The pair married in May of last year in a private ceremony in…

Julien Hekimian/Getty Images Scottish actress Karen Gillan has the distinction of playing two very important supporting characters in two different, well-loved franchises. She plays Nebula in the Guardians of the Galaxy series and also played Amy Pond, a companion to the doctor in the Doctor Who television series. One intrepid fan asked: what would happen if they met in a bar? Gillan provided a cheeky answer. The official Guardians Twitter account, in an endless attempt at publicizing the film before its…

Screengrab via Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is in a tricky place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. On the one hand, the movie has been billed the group’s last hoorah. On the other, characters in the franchise like Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) and Nebula (Karen Gillan) have indicated they might not be done with the MCU after all.  While doing an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Twitter, Gillan and Gunn answered a series of fan questions, from the most challenging scene to film in the trilogy to a potential…

Image via Marvel Studios As we surely all know by now, the stakes have never been higher for the fan-favorite band of heroes in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, given that one of the pinnacles moments in the trailers we’ve seen so far is the team doing a slow-mo walk towards the camera. All except Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) – who is either dead or unconscious, and is being carried by Nebula (Karen Gillan).  We know what you may be thinking right now – Gillan, standing at 5’11, must be pretty jacked to be able to…

Image via Marvel Studios One of the biggest mysteries from the Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special was how Nebula was able to tear out Bucky’s vibranium arm. During the special, Nebula gave Rocket Raccoon the sought-after mechanical arm from Avengers: Endgame, and it had fans wondering how it was possible. Fortunately, Guardians star Karen Gillan has the answers we need to this MCU mystery. Gillan revealed how Nebula was able to grab Bucky’s arm off-camera in between the events of Endgame and the Holiday…
