How Karen Gillan Transformed Into Nebula

Before Karen Gillan played the brutal space pirate and mercenary Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy, she rose to prominence playing the funny, sassy, and passionate Amy Pond on the hit series Doctor Who.

Gillan is unrecognizable as Nebula, which speaks to her acting skills -- but big props have to go to the costume, make-up, and special effects departments for turning her into the master assassin.

Movie-making is truly a team effort and it takes a village to do it. So, if you want to find out what went into transforming Karen Gillan into Nebula, here are all the details.

Are you ready for more Nebula in GotG vol 3?

[tanukiman]

She's beautiful, even bald and has such a delightful accent. I'm glad she's being recognized for her efforts.

Gamora, the deadliest woman in the galaxy.
Nebula, the sexiest robot in the galaxy.

Nebula ( Karen Gillan) really shined in Endgame. Want more screentime of her in the future movies.
Massive Respect for Karen for shaving her head which shows her true dedication to her character.

She made Nebula a force to be reckoned with good job ....

Karen Gillan is an amazing actress. Got to watch her entire story arc on Doctor Who, which cemented in my mind that she has seriously epic skills. Wasn't surprised at all when she got the part of Nebula. She is very very good at turning her characters into iconic parts.

The only Karen that doesn’t speak to managers

Nebula is literally one of my favourite characters in the MCU.

Karen Gillan / Nebula is one of the BEST things about Avengers: Endgame!!! Karen is a talented lass and beautiful inside & outside!!! : )

I love Nebulas voice. It cracks me up.

[kirbymarchbarcena]

She's really one hot babe in real life

[BloodofEli]

My 2nd favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe character. Her voice is amazing!

[elbryan]

Gotta be honest, I didn't really care for the character at first but, she won me over.

I Love Karen Gillian.. Nebula ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

[Bigfoot_With_Internet_Access]

That's definitely me when I'm Karen Gillan and I transform into Nebula

[vwlssnvwls]

Nebula is one of my favorite characters, because she is so much more complex and intriguing than all the others. I truly felt sad for her in GotG: vol 2, when she opens up to Gamora about how she just wanted a sister.

[keithspainjr]

Don't think I've seen her before this any other way.. Wow, what a difference. She is a knockout. 😍☺.

[sarapalin]

She really pulls of the bald look well . Such a fabulous

[kpopahjussi]

She is very humble in her estimation of her ability to pull off the role only because of the make up. She is an excellent actor!!
