Meet Nebula
Karen Gillan portrays Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy, where the official film gallery introduces her alongside the wider cosmic cast. This profile follows the existing catalog entries for that portrayal, with a route through the films that lets her changing relationships unfold on screen.
Official source · Disney Movies ↗Watch who she chooses to trust
Pay attention to how Nebula addresses different people and how much she is willing to reveal. Her exchanges can make a useful counterpoint to the team’s louder humor. Let each film establish the circumstances of an encounter rather than assuming a familiar face means a relationship has stayed the same.
