During the film’s panel, a fan pointed out that Gillan’s character Nebula is supposed to be bald. “Yeah, she is — and I might have done something a little bit crazy,” she said, as she pulled off her wig and revealed her bald head underneath. 

“It’s liberating,” Gillan told the crowd, reports Just Jared. “I think everyone here should shave their heads.”
