New Details on Nebula in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2: She's a "Teen-y, Hateful Shit"
Nebula was one of my favorite characters in Guardians of the Galaxy, and it's great to know that she will be back for Vol. 2. There was a recent piece of concept art released for the film in which we see her seemingly as part of the team. Thanks to Zoe Saldana, we learned a few new details about Nebula and her own character Gamora. In an interview with IGN she said:
"You’ll begin to get a glimpse of how terrible life must have been like to grow up with a crazy stepfather through Nebula. Nebula is still in that teen-y, fucking hateful shit. She’s just resentful and bitter."
As you know, Thanos is the stepfather that Saldana is talking about there. Sounds like Nebula still has a lot of growing up to do. Saldana's description of her being a "teen-y, fucking hateful shit" is hilarious. She went on to talk about her own character, Gamora, and how she is looking to earn redemption:
"Gamora, everything she does is trying to gain redemption for what she’d done before. That’s where you’re going to find her and then, obviously, their relationship is very volatile."
She then teased the relationship between Nebula and Gamora:
"We’re starting somewhere very crazy but appropriate given where we had ended things off in the first installment. So Thanos is definitely spoken about – not highly.”
She didn’t confirm if Nebula will end up joining the Guardians team, but it’s not hard to imagine that it could happen. It sounds like the two characters might be venting to each other about their dad. So maybe they will bond over their hatred of Thanos. No matter what happens, it seems like these two characters are always going to have issues with each other, even if they do end up on the same team at some point.
