Guardians of the Galaxy star Karen Gillan has confirmed that she will appear in Thor: Love and Thunder.

The Scottish actor, whose character Nebula was introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe back in 2014, recently revealed on social media that she had touched down in Sydney, Australia.

The update led many to assume that she could be involved in the upcoming superhero sequel, which is currently in production in Sydney, and now it seems as if the fans were correct in their thinking.

While quarantining, Gillan recently took to her Instagram Story to take part in a trend that sees the account user address 'assumptions' made about them by their followers.

One fan wrote in, suggesting that Gillan was "wearing a wig in preparation" for a role, to which she tellingly replied: "I'm not, this is the REAL DEAL. This is my hair.

"I cut it the other day in preparation for Nebula, so that we don't have to get so much hair into the bald cap because I have so much hair, it's unbelievable. It's just so thick."

In Thor: Love and Thunder, Gillan will be seen alongside returning players writer-director Taika Waititi, Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson and Natalie Portman, who hasn't starred in an MCU title since Thor: The Dark World in 2013.

Back in November, it was announced that Gillan's GOTG co-star Chris Pratt would be reprising his role as Peter Quill/Star-Lord in the movie, too.

Meanwhile, reports emerged earlier today (January 18) that suggested that Matt Damon could also be making a surprise re-appearance following his cameo role in Thor: Ragnarok.

Thor: Love and Thunder has a release date of May 6, 2022
