![Guardians Of The Galaxy Star Karen Gillan Hints At Nebula Return: "I Have Definitely Spoken [To Marvel]"](/cdn-cgi/image/onerror=redirect,width=640,height=640,format=webp/https://storage.googleapis.com/uploads.mongoosehq.com/url/media/197999887/13ce9317989eab1914c3d1467f843a32adf4c36b6196568078266f345a61997f)
Overview
- Karen Gillan told The Direct that she has "definitely spoken to" Marvel, a remark first reported on Monday, November 9, 2026.
- She refused to say whether those conversations were about reprising her role as Nebula, using guarded language that revealed contact but no details.
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 left Nebula on Knowhere caring for a rescued child, a conclusion that keeps the character narratively available for future returns.
- Genre outlets quickly amplified Gillan’s comments and linked them to speculative returns in large MCU projects such as Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars, but those reports are unconfirmed.
- Because Marvel keeps casting plans private, Gillan’s talks are a sign to watch for official studio announcements or casting notices and for related projects where Nebula could plausibly appear.
