As well as there being two Thanoses, two Caps, two Iron Men and two Hulks, there's also two Nebulas in Endgame who both play fairly important roles in the film. Subverting the expectations that Nebula would end up being the one to defeat Thanos as she did in the comics or that she'd betray the Avengers, we instead got to see the past version usurping the position of the good Nebula and teleporting Thanos to the future along with his army.

In a great moment, we see the old, twisted Nebula attacking her future self, torturing her in a chilling parallel of what her father had put her through previously. The entire extended conflict between the two only ends when Gamora realises she's on the wrong team and Nebula ends up being shot through the heart.

It's all a very touching reminder of the issues with abuse and indoctrination Thanos had help over Nebula for her entire life with him.
