Avengers: Infinity War - 15 Major Rumours You Need To See
1. Nebula Will Defeat Thanos
Rumour
Karen Gillan has been talking about her role in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2, foreshadowing that she has some serious daddy issues.
"I think family would really be the main theme of the thing. And my character Nebula is dealing with a whole lot of stuff there – we see a whole new side to her. A much more human side actually, where we understand how truly awful and difficult her daddy issues are."
There's another rumour that Thanos will turn up in Guardians, despite there not being any Infinity Stones in the plot (according to James Gunn, anyway), but further thinking suggests that this all plays into an end-goal where Nebula follows her comic book counterpart and defeats Thanos.
Rating: 7/10
In the comics, Thanos' arrogance sees him leave his body to become a divine power, only for Nebula to seize control of the Infinity Gauntlet and eventually undo all of his murderous work. Given the way the films have already set up their relationship and her burning desire to see her father destroyed, that would be the perfect way to end the Infinity Saga.
It would also be a far more poetic resolution to the Avengers and the Guardians somehow defeating Thanos in battle, because that would only undermine the idea of the Infinity Gauntlet making him a God. How succinct an ending it would be to see him undone through the neglect of his closest relationship.
