You may have thought you had seen the last of Summer Glau after The Sarah Connor Chronicles was cancelled but Joss Whedon has revealed that he has plans for her.

Summer played Cameron on SCC and before that starred in sci-fi drama Firefly, staying true to her sci-fi roots she is now being lined up for a role in Whedon’s newest show, Dollhouse.

Whedon told Entertainment Weekly:

“If anybody thinks [bringing Summer onto Dollhouse] hasn’t occurred to me already then they have not met me,” he says. “I mentioned it to her before [SCC] was canceled. I was like, ‘You know, we should get you in the ‘house.’ But first we have to come up with something that works.” And casting her as a doll would not work, insists Whedon. “Summer would be perfect to play an active, but she’s done that [type of role] a lot,” he says. “I’d rather see her play someone who talks too much. The most fun I have is when I get somebody who’s good and comfortable at doing something, and then I make them do something else. Summer said to me, ‘I would like to play a normal girl before I die of extreme old age.’”
