A major character was originally meant to die in the first Guardians of the Galaxy

Karen Gillan has revealed that her character Nebula was originally written to die in the first Guardians of the Galaxy film.

With Nebula set to play a big role in the sequel, which is now not far from release, Gillan has revealed that her character was lucky to make it out alive of the first film:

“I definitely had a feeling that there was room for the character to expand in the future, but she was originally supposed to die in the first movie, I think I remember in the script. She obviously did not die, then I found out that she was coming back in the second movie and then I found out we got to explore all these amazing things about her past and her relationship with Gamora, her sister, so I was really happy.” she told Digital Spy.

Gillan as Nebula.
