The Question: Glenn Close was originally confirmed to be reprising her role as Nova Prime in the sequel, but ended up being completely absent from the final film. What happened?

The Likely Answer: Disappointing though this was, there are only a few possible responses and they're all fairly unsatisfying bureaucratic ones.

Her part was most probably cut for pacing reasons, or a re-shoot was required and her role was eliminated because she couldn't attend the re-shoots due to scheduling.

Or Hell, maybe the scene in question just didn't "pop" how Gunn envisioned it would, and so he gave it the chop during editing. Someone needs to ask him about this, though.
