Karen Gillan finally broke her silence on potentially returning to the MCU as Nebula after Guardians Vol. 3. The actress revealed whether she has been in contact with Marvel Studios about reprising her beloved role.
Karen Gillan has spoken to Marvel about her Nebula future
Karen Gillan confirmed she has spoken to Marvel Studios about her future as Nebula in the MCU. The actress made the revelation during an exclusive interview while promoting her new pregnancy comedy Let’s Have Kids. Gillan last appeared as Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 over three years ago.
Gillan addressed her potential return but stayed tight-lipped on specifics during her conversation with The Direct. “I have definitely spoken to them. Whether or not that was about making another appearance or not is a different story,” Gillan said. She joked about having “Marvel snipers” on her and offered “no spoilers” despite acknowledging the contact.
Her comments mark the most transparent she has been since Guardians 3 wrapped. Gillan previously took a “never say never” stance on a potential MCU return. Confirming active communication with Marvel represents a notable shift from that vague position.
In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Nebula left the team to lead the community on Knowhere. She also took responsibility for the child rescued from the High Evolutionary. That arc gave the warrior character a peaceful new chapter in her story.
Speculation now centers on whether Nebula could appear in upcoming Avengers films. Reports suggest the Guardians will sit out Avengers: Doomsday, but Avengers: Secret Wars remains a possibility. Production on that film starts in early 2027, leaving room for casting decisions.
Gillan also reprised Nebula in several episodes of What If…? after Vol. 3. The animated series gave the character a neo-noir detective storyline with the Nova Corps. Meanwhile, Marvel Animation announced Marvel Zombies: The Last Guardian as an upcoming two-part special for Halloween 2029.
Fans have theorized that Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord will return for the Multiverse Saga finale. More Guardians could follow, potentially including Nebula in a new role on Battleworld.
