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

Despite no one really knowing who the characters were, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy went on to be a massive hit.

Now we're about to get Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and the raft of four and five star reviews have got us hyped up to the nines - Friday cannot come quickly enough. The stars of the movie are currently out promoting the movie, and one of them giving us a tasty little insight into the first movie. It turns out that Nebula, nemesis and sort-of sister of Gamora, was originally scripted to die in Guardians. Karen Gillian, the actress who portrays Nebula, told Digital Spy: “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.” We'll have to wait and see if Nebula makes it through Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but with the promise of a Guardians/Avengers crossover in Avengers: Infinity War, who knows where she might end up next.
