“Dr. Who” Starlet Karen Gillan is set to join Michael Rooker (“The Walking Dead”) and Lee Pace (The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey) as villains in Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy, an adaptation of its comic book series about interstellar superheroes.

Guardians of the Galaxy is directed by James Gunn (Slither) and stars Zoe Saldana (Star Trek Into Darkness), Chris Pratt (“Parks and Recreation”) and WWF star Dave Bautista as the Guardians. The film, which also co-stars old-people actress Glenn Close, is set to shoot in June in the U.K.

Gillan is best known for her role as Amy Pond on Britain’s long-running sci-fi series “Dr. Who.” The Scottish actress and former model will next be seen in Film District’s new supernatural thriller Oculus with “Battlestar Galactica” star Katee Sackhoff.
