‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ has emerged as a critical and commercial success. It has grossed more than $700 million at the box office and the characters’ appearances have also received a positive response from the audience.
Although the film’s storyline has been loved by everyone, there is one story arc that remains unsolved. All those who have watched the film have spotted a seemingly romantic link between Star-Lord and Nebula. Director James Gunn has now spoken about the relationship.

James Gunn On Star-Lord And Nebula’s Relationship
‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ featured a moment where Gamora spoke to Star-Lord, saying that the person he loved sounded more like Nebula. This results in an amusing conversation about how much Star Lord liked the dark eyes of Nebula.
Nebula star Karen Gillan also believes that she has a crush on Peter Quill. While speaking to New York Times, director James Gunn spoke on the romantic arc between Nebula and Star-Lord, saying that Nebula is emotionally a mean schoolgirl who would not show her feelings to anyone.
James Gunn added, “Karen thinks that Nebula has a little bit of a crush on Quill that she doesn’t quite know how to put together, and it makes sense because as we come to them in ‘Vol. 3’, we realize that they are the two leaders of the Guardians. I think it’s very normal in any close friendship to have some sort of occasional romantic or crush-like feelings.”
