Karen Gillan Teases Possible Return as Nebula in Marvel Universe

Los Angeles, CA — Actress Karen Gillan has hinted at the possibility of returning as Nebula in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, despite a seemingly conclusive storyline in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.” Gillan, who portrayed Thanos‘ adoptive daughter, shared her thoughts during a recent interview, leaving fans speculating about Nebula’s future.

Nebula’s journey has been long and complex, transforming her from a villain to a beloved member of the Guardians. After enduring years of abuse, the character has found happiness and a new family among the Guardians. However, her fate remains uncertain following the third installment of the trilogy.

During the interview, Gillan remarked, “It’s so much fun working in the Marvel world… in terms of the future, can’t say anything. You know how it goes, but maybe… never say never.” This comment suggests that while there are no active projects involving Nebula, the door may still be open for her return.

In previous discussions, Gillan had expressed her eagerness to reprise her role. She mentioned the potential for a prequel that explores Nebula’s backstory, stating, “I think Nebula has a really interesting backstory, so that would be really cool to learn more about.” Despite no live-action projects announced recently, the full cast list for the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday” has not yet been confirmed, leaving room for speculation.

There’s a chance that Gillan’s silence regarding future Marvel roles stems from a non-disclosure agreement, as the MCU often keeps surprise appearances tightly under wraps. Fans are hopeful that Nebula may make a surprise cameo in future films, including “Avengers: Secret Wars.” While Gillan currently does not have anything lined up with Marvel, her enduring popularity suggests that Nebula’s story may not be completely over.
