Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Star Regrets Awkward Pose on Poster

The marketing campaign for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is now underway, getting fans excited (and emotionally compromised) about the highly-anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe threequel. While the two trailers and various other reveals have definitely earned a lot of praise, it looks like one component has even annoyed one of the film's stars. In a recent post on TikTok, Nebula actress Karen Gillan addressed the pose that she is making on one of the newest Vol. 3 posters, arguing that it looks awkward.

"Okay, could anybody out there tell me what I was thinking when I decided to pose like this on an international, worldwide poster that will remain forevermore," Gillan says in the video. "I remember doing this pose and thinking 'I think I look pretty cool here.' So I take full responsibility for this choice. But oh my god, what am I leaning against? What is my elbow doing? Nope, doesn't look good now, either, does it? Maybe I should double down and try to make this pose a thing. Maybe I'll do it on a couple of red carpets, see if it takes. It might become like the new, like when men always check their cufflinks, maybe women will start [posing]. Probably not. I stared at it for so long, I was like 'Oh, maybe I'm reaching for a weapon to take out and fight someone.' And then I remembered that I'm not wearing a holster or anything that would carry a weapon, so it's not that either. You'll be seeing that pose again somewhere, when you least expect it. I'm going to bring it back for its return."
