Abigail Thorn is currently filming a new role as a trans femme action star, she revealed at the Trans+ History Week community event on a live recording of the QueerAF podcast.&nbsp;The actor, who is known for her roles in the Game Of Thrones (House Of The Dragon, Sharako Lohar) and Star Wars (The Acolyte, Ensign Eurus) universes, said:&nbsp;“I can't say what it is, but I am about to start filming a big action thing this summer. I'm having boxing lessons and sword fighting lessons like three times a week and like learning to dive across things.”&nbsp;Although there has been a transgender superhero before, notably Dreamer, played by Nicole Maines in the CW series Supergirl - Thorn says this is the first time a trans femme person has been cast as an action star in a production of this kind.&nbsp;“I said to the producers when I got it, was like, thank you for giving me this. Because they didn't write it with a trans woman in mind, they just wrote it. And I said to the producers, thank you for giving me this because the idea that a trans woman can be an action star has not yet occurred to anyone outside of this project. And when it does, it's going to blow their minds.”Check out the full interview with special guest Abigail Thorn and guest host Anthony Lexa out now.And if you missed last year's interview with Anthony LExa and co-star Felix Mufti, <a href="https://podfollow.com/queeraf/episode/73912fd0b0e4e370624e17c5572a280941904339/view" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">listen back here. </a>Sign up as a QueerAF member to listen along ad-free and support our not-for-profit work, investing in a new generation of queer audio professionals:<a href="https://www.wearequeeraf.com/membership/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.wearequeeraf.com/membership/</a>If you like our podcast, you'll love our free weekly newsletter that thousands of readers use to understand the LGBTQIA+ 🏳️‍🌈 headlines, learn new perspectives and stay on top of the latest queer content.
