Karen Gillian teases a surprise team up for Nebula and this character on Avengers 4

Karen Gillian’s no-nonsense Nebula could team up with Pom Klementieff’s wide-eyed Mantis in the upcoming Avengers 4.

Actor and owner of a perfectly round head, Karen Gillian is back on the sets of Avengers 4. Karen, who plays the bright blue Nebula in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, posted a picture from her make up room upon her return and teased her fans with an exciting development.

Karen Gillian plays Nebula in the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy movies.

This will sound weird but Karen took a selfie of herself holding co-star Pom Klementieff’s decapitated head. Not really, she is holding a fake red clay model of Pom’s head but it is still quite unnerving. “Back on @avengers. Got @pom.klementieff to keep me company. #nebulaandmantis,” she captioned the photo. Pom plays the all-feeling Mantis in the movies.

After the new picture, an old interview has resurfaced on Twitter which shows Karen talking about her ‘new BFF’ in Avengers 4. “I know who her new BFF is and I can’t tell you. I can’t. But I promise you it’s brilliant and unexpected and just so good,” she says in the interview.

Nebula is expected to be on a mission to find her genocidal maniac of a father and end him before he creates more chaos. The last time we saw her, she was the one who unwittingly lead him to the Soul Stone in Vormir. What happened afterwards was the mass murder that we are still crying over.

Avengers 4 is set to release in May 2019 and will be directed by the Russo Brothers.
