LOS ANGELES — Game Of Thrones fans are already familiar with Gwendoline Christie in her guise as the honourable Brienne of Tarth, but audiences are about to see a very different side of the statuesque thesp thanks to roles in winter’s two biggest films — the final instalment of the Hunger Games franchise, Mockingjay – Part 2, and Episode VII of cinema’s most beloved sci-fi franchise, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

For Christie, a classically trained method actor who graduated from Drama Centre London, the most compelling aspect of all three projects is their commitment to diversity, especially in regards to providing roles for women that eschew the traditional, often stereotypical narratives that many female characters are forced to follow in film.

“It’s great to be involved in three big franchises, but (they’re) big three big franchises that are looking to expand our consciousness about each other as human beings, and that’s very exciting,” Christie noted during a recent interview with Variety. “They are three enormous things — however, the quality of the writing and the concepts are very, very well developed and very relevant, so everyone seems engaged in the excitement of what these things are doing. All three projects are incredibly progressive, so it feels as though everyone’s caught up with the idea of that, and everyone’s dedicated to giving their absolute best and honouring the set of ideas and setting them forth into the world.”

Christie’s Star Wars character, Captain Phasma, has been a source of fascination for fans since images of the military leader’s distinctive armour first appeared in the trailer, and unlike the original Star Wars trilogy, in which David Prowse gave the physical performance for Darth Vader on set while James Earl Jones provided the villain’s iconic voice, Christie told Variety that she was able to embody the character completely during filming, at the insistence of director J J Abrams.

“It was very important to J J that I was there acting a part,” she noted. “I found it to be a really interesting acting challenge, not just because of what I felt this character was representing — and it was just what I felt, and we talked about it a little bit, but it was never like a manifesto, ‘this is what it must be’ — and it was exciting to me to have that weight of responsibility taken away, of having to be a certain way as a woman, to have to be mindful in a way that isn’t always useful. To have that stripped away was very liberating, and it meant that as an actor I had to focus on other things. I had to focus on what my body was communicating and what exactly my voice is communicating.”
