gillian won’t get a part in the crown when she’s up against all those other actresses, and i doubt she’d do a leading role in a show that takes 9 months to shoot (per claire foy the other day at the radio times chat). gillian is too sculpted and fine-boned to play the queen anyway. i think either olivia colman or emily watson would suit the part.

Maybe! Or maybe she’ll take a smaller part. We’ll see. It won’t be officially announced before a few months anyway, so we’ll have to be patient and a lot can happen since it’s announced.

But personally, I totally can see her taking this part. It would be a big commitment, but it would be for two seasons maximum. They film in London and in Vienna, so it would allow her to stay with her family while working everyday for one of the biggest Netflix show.
Also, she’d admitted herself she wouldn’t mind receiving an Oscar, and seeing what’s happening to Claire Foy now, I think it could be a good tremplin for her to get bigger leading roles in Hollywood and finally get an Oscarable role.
But it’s just my opinion… 🙂
