The women of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 had a lot to say about the fan reactions to this epic sequel. Find out how they handled fans, critics, and more in this exclusive interview from the 2027 D23 Expo! Disney hosted me at this epic event, but all my opinions are real.
As most of you know, I attended the 2017 D23 Expo a few weeks ago. What many of you may not know is that I was surprised with an exclusive interview opportunity with a couple women of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Karen Gillan (Nebula) and Pom Klementieff (Mantis). This interview was even more special because we got to chat with them about the upcoming Blu-ray release of Guardians 2. Be sure you pick it up August 17, 2017!
Women of Guardians of the Galaxy discuss fan reactions & Blu-ray release
I've talked to these lovely ladies before. We had the pleasure of chatting about the theatrical release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, so it was fun to talk to them about fan reactions to their roles in Guardians 2, as well as their excitement for the Blu-ray!
Karen Gillan loves her fans and their positive response to the film:
I feel like it's been received really well by the fans. When we were making it, it definitely felt like we were making something special, and everyone was delivering. It just felt like everything that was so good about the first film was kind of amplified in the second film. So I feel like we took it to the next level. And it would seem that the fans agree with that which is always the most important thing, so that's cool.
I personally felt like Guardians 2 was way better than the first! I laughed, I cried, I felt a little bit of everything. They definitely succeeded in that regard. Karen also said that after fans watched the second film, “Children are less scared” of her now. haha!
Both Pom and Karen are super excited about the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 on Blu-ray. I'm pretty sure we are all considering the tons of extras!
