Infinity War: Karen Gillan Says Nebula’s Past “Worse Than We Know”

Actress Karen Gillan has revealed that Avengers: Infinity War will delve further into Nebula's traumatic past.

Fans can expect to learn even more about Nebula's horrid past in the upcoming movie Avengers: Infinity War.

Actress Karen Gillan recently teased what fans can expect of Nebula in the third Avengers movie while answering questions at a Florida SuperCon panel.

"Without giving away any spoilers, we’re definitely going to continue the arc for Nebula and find out more about her past," Gillan said. "And actually, we’re going to find out that it’s even worse than we know."

The last time fans checked in with Nebula was Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which also delved in to her tragic past. Her dysfunctional family, headed by Thanos, saw her face off against her own adoptive sister, Gamora. It was revealed that Nebula gained her appearance as Thanos incrementally turned her into more of a cyborg with each lost battle. With all of that baggage, it's not surprising to hear that Nebula's emotional response will be significant.

"We’re going to see her confront all of it." Gillan said. "It’s going to be like an emotional explosion."

What could be more tragic that her own father changing her very biology? Perhaps moviegoers will find out just how she ended up under the care of the Mad Titan himself. If anything, a succinct explanation is likely all Nebula and Gamora would need to convince the Guardians and Avengers of just how monstrous Thanos can be.

Debuting in theaters on May 4, 2018, Avengers: Infinity War is a production of Marvel Studios directed by Joe and Anthony Russo starring Robert Downey Jr., Josh Brolin, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Bettany, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Benedict Wong, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Holland and Anthony Mackie.
