Doctor Who star Karen Gillan has laid out her conditions for returning to the show as Amy Pond.
Gillan played Amy from 2010 to 2012 alongside the eleventh incarnation of The Doctor, played by Matt Smith.
Appearing on The One Show with her Life of Chuck co-stars Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill, Gillan was asked if she’d ever go back to Doctor Who as Amy.

“If they’ll have me, absolutely,” Gillan responded. “But with Matt Smith and Arthur Darvill – it has to be with them.”
Darvill starred on the BBC sci-fi show between series 5 and 7, joining Gillan as the Doctor’s companion Rory Williams aka The Last Centurion.

Joining them on the couch was Suranne Jones, whose time on Doctor Who was also referenced by Gillan, who added: “And Suranne, you could reprise your role as the Tardis. We’re sitting next to the Tardis right now.”
Back in 2022 Gillan gave the same conditions for returning to the show, saying: “Never say never.”
“If I was asked, I would be really, really interested and keen,” she added.
In The Life of Chuck, Hiddleston star as “ordinary man” Charles ‘Chuck’ Krantz, who tragically dies from a brain tumour at the age of 39.

The film tells Chuck’s life story in reverse chronological order across three distinct chapters, starting with his death and going backwards in time, before ending up in his childhood.
Gillan’s Marvel reunion with Hiddleston has also meant she’s been asked if she’d ever return to the MCU as Nebula, who was last seen in 2023’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Speaking to Movie Web, Gillan said: “It’s so much fun working in the Marvel world… in terms of the future, can’t say anything. You know how it goes, but maybe… never say never.”
