5. The Devil You Know
From one Pond, to another! It's been hard to keep up with Karen Gillan (whose return as Nebula in Marvel's
Guardians of the Galaxy sequel has literally
just been confirmed!) since she left the coveted realms of the Whoniverse behind her in 2012. Her career has been going from strength to strength with a plethora of lauded post-Pond performances under her belt, including her leading role in the 2013 supernatural horror
Oculus and her praised portrayal of Eliza Dooley in the ill-fated ABC sitcom
Selfie. In December she'll be returning to the big screen, this time alongside John Travolta, Ethan Hawke and Torchwoods very own Burn Gorman, as Ellen in a Western called
In A Valley of Violence (because nothing says Christmas like cowboys, apparently!) but that's not the only project coming up on her already reputable résumé. The actress has just filmed her scenes for HBO's new provocative period drama
The Devil You Know which is expected to air later this year. From the creator of
Orange Is The New Black, the mini-series will focus on the Salem Witch Trials in 17th century New England and also stars comedian Eddie Izzard and Zawe Ashton, who
Doctor Who fans will recognise as Journey Blue from Series 8's
Into the Dalek.
