Thor 4: Karen Gillan Teases A “Bonkers“ Nebula in Taika Waititi Film

Karen Gillan’s been playing Nebula, the daughter of Thanos (Josh Brolin) and the sister of Gamora (Zoe Saldana), for eight years now. It all began when she made her MCU debut in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy. While that movie certainly did tease the tension and dark history between Nebula and Gamora, it largely painted the character as a henchwoman to Thanos. Cut to 2019 and Nebula’s a standout heroic force in one of the highest grossing movies of all time, Avengers: Endgame. Her run in the MCU thus far has already conveyed a significant and highly successful arc for the character, something that will hopefully continue when Nebula makes her next appearance in Thor 4. It’s not every day you get to develop a character with three different film directors, all of whom have such strong and distinct styles, so while chatting about Nebula’s growth from film to film, Gillan took the time to highlight each director’s contribution to the character.
