Karen Gillan addresses MCU return: "I have definitely spoken to them"

Marvel actor Karen Gillan has addressed potentially reprising her role as Nebula, who was last seen in Guardian of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Speaking to The Direct, Gillan hinted at being in talks with MCU bosses but stopped short at offering further information.

"You know I can't tell you that," she said, laughing. "I have Marvel snipers on me. I have definitely spoken to them. Whether or not that was about making another appearance or not is a different story... Basically, no spoilers over here."

In May 2025, when asked about a possible MCU return, Gillan told MovieWeb: "It's so much fun working in the Marvel world.

"In terms of the future, can't say anything. You know how it goes, but maybe… never say never."

It may be a while before we see Nebula in the MCU again, but one character who is set to return is Nick Fury.

In a recent interview with The Direct, Samuel L Jackson said he has "no idea" about the upcoming project he will be in, except that it is supposed to be the "next movie" after Avengers: Doomsday.

In the meantime, Gillan can be seen later this year in the final movie of the Jumanji series, titled Jumanji: Open World. She will once again appear alongside Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black and Kevin Hart.

In addition to a Highlander remake opposite Henry Cavill, Gillan is also set to star in supernatural thriller Blasphemous with Josh Hutcherson and the legendary Clive Owen.

Blasphemous follows a newbie priest and his devout protege who transport a woman for an exorcism. Unfortunately, despite taking her to what was meant to be a secure location, she escapes, testing their faith while putting their lives on the line.
