Karen Gillan famously portrayed the character Nebula in the Marvel superhero science fiction film, Guardians of the Galaxy.

Gillan was cast in the iconic role in May 2013, with the movie officially premiering in August 2014. Her commitment to the character's distinct appearance was significant; she famously shaved her head completely bald for the part.
