Variety had a chance to catch-up with the busy actress for a little one on one and this is what she had to say about about in three big franchises: “It’s great to be involved in three big franchises, but [they’re] big three big franchises that are looking to expand our consciousness about each other as human beings, and that’s very exciting,”
She continues to say: “They are three enormous things — however, the quality of the writing and the concepts are very, very well developed and very relevant, so everyone seems engaged in the excitement of what these things are doing. All three projects are incredibly progressive, so it feels as though everyone’s caught up with the idea of that, and everyone’s dedicated to giving their absolute best and honoring the set of ideas and setting them forth into the world.”
In the upcoming Star Wars sequel she is playing the part of Captain Phasma she spoke a bit on how she had to protray the character: "I found it to be a really interesting acting challenge, not just because of what I felt this character was representing — and it was just what I felt, and we talked about it a little bit, but it was never like a manifesto, ‘this is what it must be’ — and it was exciting to me to have that weight of responsibility taken away, of having to be a certain way as a woman, to have to be mindful in a way that isn’t always useful. To have that stripped away was very liberating, and it meant that as an actor I had to focus on other things."
Gwendoline did find some similarities between Brienne from Game of Thrones and Captain Phasma. “I don’t think many female actors get the opportunity to play a part where they’re not having to think about the way their face looks, but I found exactly the same thing with Brienne of Tarth, and that was very liberating,”
In the upcoming The Hunger Games sequel she is playing the part of Commander Lyme. Her past screen credits include: Game of Thrones (2012-2015) and Wizards vs. Aliens (2012-2013).
