Writer and directorJames Gunnteased that Nebula (Karen Gillan) and Mantis (Pom Klementieff) will have a more prominent role in Marvel’sGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Commenting on Gillan’s and Klementieff’s teary reaction to the film’s script, Gunn jokingly said that the reason could not be because they had “too few lines”, as “their roles are both pretty huge.”
Replying to the tweet that comments on how Gillan and Klementieff had a “flood of tears” after readingGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3scripts, Gunn also wondered if the actress’s reaction could be explained by “paper cuts”.
Although Gunn jokes about it, the two previousGuardiansfilms had many emotional moments, so it’s no wonder the next movie will follow the same path. Even more, considering thatGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3should be Gunn’s farewell to the franchise.
