Karen Gillan’s Nebula has had a remarkable character arc during her time in the MCU, but it almost didn’t happen.
It had previously been revealed that Nebula wasn’t originally written to survive the events of the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, but now Karen Gillan has spoken out about exactly what it was that happened which changed the fate of the character.
Apparently, Gillan had a very emotional reaction to the scene she performed during her screen test, which was all the more impressive considering the scene she was doing was never meant to be part of the film.
