During a chat with Karen Gillan about her new horror movie
Oculus, Screen Crush dropped in a few
Guardians Of The Galaxy related questions. The actress is wary of giving too much away, but she does confirm a few things about her character -- the "sadistic" enforcer to Ronan The Accuser (Lee Pace), Nebula. The character will be the nemesis of Gamora (Zoe Saldana), and Gillan says Nebula has a " lot of reasons for what she's doing to her". In the comics Nebula is (or at least claims to be) the granddaughter of the Titan, Thanos. Will that be retained for the movie? Gillan reveals that they've "reestablished it in quite a lot of ways", but there's an "element of that". Finally she's asked if she's signed on for any more movies, but Gillan declines to answer, because obviously that would spoil whether Nebula makes it out of this first movie alive or not!
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits–Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand - with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.
