Karen Gillan recently finished filming her return as Nebula in the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie, out in cinemas next summer, but she’s far from being the only Doctor Who star in the Marvel universe. Here we take a look at the Doctor Who actors who’ve appeared in Marvel adaptations… Christopher Eccleston as Malekith in Thor: The … >
