The Guardians of Galaxy 2: Karen Gillan “If Nebula manages to kill Thanos, she will be happy”

Cinema 29 April, 2017

Karen Gillan is since Wednesday at the poster of the highly anticipated Les Gardiens de la Galaxie Vol 2 and we met her for an exclusive interview.
She is still angry, but this time we know why! Karen Gillan is back in the skin of Nebula in The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 and the good news is that we learn a lot more about this character in this new section. If Nebula was more a secondary character in the first film, James Gunn decided it was time for us to better know Gamora’s sister that we will also find in Avengers Infinity War . We met her when the casting came to London and she answered some of our questions.
Karen Gillan – I was not necessarily more stressed, but I wondered if the others would be because of the success of the first one. We wondered how we could do as well, a bit like the musicians who released a second album, but I did not carry the burden of this responsibility on my shoulders, I left it to the others … But when the shooting I immediately saw that nobody was really stressed, we were all motivated to do a very good job, we all gave the best of ourselves, we surpassed ourselves to create the best possible story.
What is the biggest change for Nebula in this new chapter?
In the first film it is discovered in its role of evil evil in a secondary role. We discover the relationship she shares with her sister Gamora, but we do not really know why she is acting like that. In this film, we explore the character and her past, we learn a lot about her, we understand why she is so angry and it gives very moving exchanges with her sister.
Will Nebula ever be able to make peace with her past and be happy?
It’s hard to say, I think it’s going to take him several years of therapy! She set a mission, she wants to kill Thanos and I do not know if she’s going to get there, but if she does it should help her get better!
Nebula is one of the most serious characters in the Guardians of the Galaxy, would you like to see her a little more relaxed?
Not necessarily because I think it’s important to have characters with different characters for funny people to be very funny, happy people very happy and I think there’s room for more serious characters . But I think she’s funny in her own way, she’s very sarcastic and she has pretty cool lines. I like people who take themselves too seriously, I find them funny!
What is your best memory of The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2?
I loved working with Zoe Saldana and exploring the relationship between Gamora and Nebula. We really loved doing it and working with Zoe is really cool because she is a very generous and open-minded actress, we were able to give ourselves thoroughly to tell the story of the two sisters.
We know that Nebula will be in Avengers Infinity War and secrecy, we know you can not tell us much, but in your opinion with which Avengers will most fight?
I can not say anything ! If I say anything about Avengers, Marvel is going to … I do not know exactly what they’re gonna do to me but … I know she’s going to meet some very famous characters from the fans and it will be very entertaining.
But you would like to see her with whom?
Who would I like to work with? I would say Iron Man and Spiderman because they are really very talented actors and the characters are funny!
