When fans last saw Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy, the character was not doing so great. Having chopped her hand off, Thanos' adopted daughter was quick to flee the impending battle Ronan was stirring up. When fans meet up with the character in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, audiences will learn what all the character has been up to. And, apparently, it's not been anything too pleasant.
During a set visit, ComicBook.com had a chance to speak with Karen Gillan about her role and where Nebula finds herself in the sequel. It was there that the actress opened up about her character's relationship to the movie's main baddie, and she stressed its not a good one.
Having been captured by the film's antagonist, Nebula wants nothing more than to escape her captors oversight.
"Well, that's her main objective throughout the entire film," Gillan explained. "She obviously takes many paths to sort of get there in any way she can, but she is being held captive. So she's there against her will, which is just a funny dynamic, because she's like, 'Oh for goodness sake.'
Continuing, Gillan went on to explain why Nebula puts up with her containment for so long. "She doesn't really want to be there, but she does because she needs to sort out these things with her sister."
Of course, being held captive is a great way for the film's creators to establish Nebula as a more sympathetic character. Over the past few months, Gillan has said the former antagonist would have a change of heart and show a different side of herself.
"What I love about the second movie for Nebula in particular is that we get — We know that she's a pretty angry woman with some daddy issues. [But] in the second movie, we're going to start to see how much pain her father actually caused her, and we're going to delve right into the relationship with her sister Gamora," the actress told TheWrap in January.
So, hopefully, the Guardians will create a plan to get Nebula free from her new captor. And, when they do, Gamora might want to make sure Drax doesn't just slice and dice Nebula to bits.
