Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is just one of a handful of upcoming MCU films currently in production.

Scheduled for a May 2023 release, the third Guardians of the Galaxy film will conclude the MCU's quirky intergalactic films by James Gunn with lots and lots of deaths.

One of the characters that could face their demise in the threequel is Nebula, Thanos' adoptive daughter who is played by Karen Gillan.

While we've got no reason to believe that this is going to be the case, Gillan's recent tease on Instagram does hint at Nebula sporting a battle-damaged look at some point in the upcoming film.

The former Doctor Who star's latest picture honors the makeup team's nth application and features her full Nebula face with scratches.

Of course, we won't know for sure if Nebula will die or not in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 until the movie hits theaters a little over a year from now.

Unfortunately, regardless of what happens in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, it will be the last time that audiences will see the current lineup.

Don't worry, Gunn hasn't closed the door on a fourth film, so even if the current team breaks up, there is always a chance that they'll all team up again.
