Karen Gillan is set to reprise her role as Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and discussed her hopes for the character in the film. Gillan was part of an online panel with GalaxyCon and talked about where she would like to see the anti-hero’s arc go.

“In Avengers [Endgame], she had to face the source of her abuse, then actually watch him get eliminated from her life,” she said (per Joblo). “I’m sort of thinking about future Nebula in the sense like, ‘What is she going to be like now that that person’s abuse has gone out of her life? How is she going to build herself back up again?’ Because it’s an odd feeling, I think, for someone who’s been abused by a parent, because they still love them and they’re sad that they’re gone, but also they hate them and they’re glad that they’re gone…I’m interested to maybe try and take her to a place now where she’s starting to rebuild her life.”

The film will be directed by James Gunn from his script, which has not yet entered production. It is expected to start filming later this year.
