James Gunn on Gamora and Nebula’s relationship in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

September 5, 2016 by Gary Collinson

When the Guardians of the Galaxy return next year, Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket and Groot will be joined by three new members of the team in Mantis, Yondu, and their former foe Nebula – sister to Gamora, and daughter of Thanos.

When we last seen the Mad Titan’s adopted daughters, they weren’t exactly on the best of terms, and it seems the relationship between Gamora and Nebula is going to play a big part in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, with director James Gunn offering up a few details during a Facebook chat (via Comic Book).

“I really feel like we give the female characters a chance to shine in this movie,” states Gunn. “Because Zoe Saldana comes in and she is so wonderfully beautiful as her character. It’s touching. And Karen Gillan as Nebula comes in, and she’s her sister, and she’s completely a much deeper character than we got in the first movie, so we get to know her. And that’s one of the things that this movie is about… The first movie was really about becoming a family. This movie is about being a family. And what’s harder, becoming a family or being a family? I think it’s being a family. That’s where you really have to deal with each other. And that’s what this movie is about. And their sisters. They are family, whether they like it or not. And they also want to kill each other, so it adds a new twist to being a sister.”

Set to the backdrop of ‘Awesome Mixtape #2,’ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.
