The actress also spoke about her role in the upcoming Aardman Animations film, Early Age.

“Growing up, I loved Chicken Run, because it’s driven by Ginger, who is such a fantastic character,” she said. “So to be a part of that same world and to be playing another woman who is popular for her talents and not for her looks, and whose main story arc has nothing to do with the interest of boys, is very cool.”

And another role Williams is looking forward to? Being bridesmaid to co-star Sophie Turner, who’ll be marrying pop star Joe Jonas.

“[The wedding] is very, very exciting. It’s kind of bizarre though,” she told Radio Times.

“We’re waiting until this season [of Game of Thrones] is done until we get into any [wedding planning], but I think she’s already letting her little heart wander and imagine.”
