Avengers: Infinity War delivered a lot of big surprises but perhaps the biggest came when Thanos threw Gamora to her death in order to retrieve the Soul Stone (which was being guarded by the Red freakin' Skull). Now, Zoe Saldana has weighed in on the unexpected - and seemingly permanent - demise of her Guardians of the Galaxy character and confirms she knew it was coming for a while.
"I learned very early on," she revealed in a recent interview, making it clear that there were some surprises the Russo Brothers were clearly happy to share. "The producers called me and they told me. And of course there’s a shock to your system. I’m so grateful, this run has been amazing, but you’re so not even ready for that." Unfortunately, Marvel telling the actress that so early on definitely points to Gamora's death being permanent but this could all be misdirection; we just don't know right now.
"But then once some of the things were discussed, I understood that it just makes sense," Saldana continued. "In order for you to understand the degree of evil that lies within the core of Thanos, you have to circle in on his own children. So I completely understood. I loved being a part of this unforgettable journey." And with that, it definitely feels like she's said goodbye to Gamora!
Then again, it's hard to imagine that Gamora is going anywhere given her popularity and seeing as her soul appears to be trapped within the Soul Stone, there's a very good chance she could be resurrected especially as there's precedent for that happening in the comic books.
