Ophelia Lovibond played Carina in the 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy movie. She also appeared in Inside No. 9, W1A, and the John Lennon biopic Nowhere Boy.

Speaking to Digital Spy, the actress  said: “You know that, because you’re a woman, there are not going to be as many interesting roles for you – and that is frustrating.” Lovibond believed that women in Hollywood don’t get to have interesting roles as often.

“It’s so ridiculous – I don’t have a penis, so I’m not going to get as interesting a role. But the only thing you can do is continue talking about that, and outing that, and trying to shift it – there’s only so much that moaning about it will do.”

Lovibond said the lack of interesting roles was more of an issue in the movie and TV industry. She said “The roles that have been offered to me in theatre have been these strong, feminist, dynamic roles, so that’s been so, so appealing.”
