The Untold Truth Of Karen Gillan

When Nebula was introduced in the MCU, she was initially a thorn in the side of her adoptive sister, Gamora. Over time, however, the two put aside their differences and focused on a common enemy: their daddy dearest and mad warlord, Thanos. Now it's safe to say that Nebula is an important part of the Guardians of the Galaxy and a pivotal hero in the overall context of the MCU.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Karen Gillan revealed that her character's arc was originally meant to be much smaller in the script for "Guardians of the Galaxy." "I was supposed to film for eight days, and then I was scripted to die," she said. "And then suddenly she wasn't dying in that scene anymore, and I was like, 'Oh, hooray!'" Gillan discussed how she had read the comics to find out more about Nebula's development and hoped that the filmmakers would draw from it for the likes of "Avengers: Endgame," which the Russo brothers actually did.
