Maisie Williams wishes fans asked her about her Doctor Who character instead of Arya

An artist gains popularity based on their versatility. The HBO hit Game of Thrones is the origin of some of the industry’s best actors, including some who have gone on to play significant roles in major studio productions like the MCU and the DCEU. Maisie Williams is definitely one of them, experimenting with several different characters. Despite being widely known for her role as Arya, she feels one of her other roles, from the beloved Dr. Who franchise, is often overlooked by fans.

She also played the role of a Viking girl named Ashildr, who dies and is brought back by Doctor Who as an immortal in Series 9. In a recent interview with Collider, Williams expresses her desire to work with the now Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa, in the future. She said,

“Yeah, potentially! I’d love to work with Ncuti, that would be so cool. I actually had never even [thought] about— People are always asking me about Arya, that no one asks me about Ashildr. So maybe! I would love that, yeah that would be cool.”
