Fight training behind the scenes with Gwendoline Christie and Maisie Williams.
“I don’t know what I’m going to do. I don’t want shit female characters. If we stop accepting them, they’ll stop being written. I don’t see myself as a romantic lead, that’s not me. That’s not a lot of women.” — Maisie Williams for The Sunday Times
“I don’t want people to like her anymore, almost, that sounds really, really bad.I want people to realize that actually she’s not the same anymore. You can’t root for her forever, because she’s not there to be your favorite character. That’s not what she’s there for. She’s real. People go down bad paths and they make bad decisions, but it’s always justified in their head. I want the audience to differentiate that and not just be like, ‘Oh, it’s Arya, we love her.’ Because actually look at what Arya’s doing. She’s being eaten away from the inside out, and she’s not stopping it.” - about Arya
She is not entirely wrong about this.
Q: Have you had any major celebrities come up to you and tell you they’re a fan of the show?
Number # 1: Colin Morgan
The Form: It was Morgan’s quietly intense performance in the lead that elevated Merlin from teatime fluff to something beloved and a bit special. The Buzz: After five years of intense shooting on Merlin, he’s plotting his next move carefully, but a relocation to LA looks likely. Next Up: Morgan can next be seen in Quirke, BBC One’s new crime noir adaptation of the Benjamin Black novels.
