Glenn Close Ready To Return As 'Nova Prime' In GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Sequel
The acting heavyweight explains why she joined Marvel's latest cinematic outing, which has pulled in $94 million for its opening weekend, and also comments on reprising Nova Prime in the sequel.
Glenn Close then admits that, due to her many serious roles of late, she is not offered fun roles like Nova Prime very often, so she does remain open to them when they come around. "I just have to let people know that I always have been up for anything. I love to do stuff that's different. That's what I love," says the actress. Later during the interview, Close also admits that, with Nova Prime's dark eyes and red lipstick, she was worried she'd look too much like her 101 Dalmatians character Cruella De Vil. However, she was quite fond of her Marvel character's specially designed wig which reminded her of Saturn's rings. "It's so out there, I don't know if people will like this one, but it's really great," she says of the hairdo. "Now I've really bought into it. This is a great sculpture, a whimsy on my head. I like to think that Nova Prime has that in her, and hopefully we'll be able to see that in the future." Speaking of the future, which will see James Gunn's sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy release on July 28, 2017, Glenn Close reveals she's game to reprise her role. "When you play a character who they love and are amused by," she says, "hopefully they'll see more of you. Especially at this point in my career, it's fantastic. To be in the beginning of literally a whole new universe for people is really fun." What do you think?
