GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Vol. 2 Actress Zoe Saldana Reveals An Intriguing New AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Detail
When Zoe Saldana was asked about the Guardians' inevitable team-up with Earth's Mightiest Heroes in next year's Avengers: Infinity War, she seemed to let slip a very interesting new tidbit...
Next year will see the highly anticipated first meeting of James Gunn's team of intergalactic A-holes and Earth's Mightiest Heroes in The Russo Brothers' Avengers: Infinity War, and thanks to Zoe Saldana (Gamora) we might now have a slightly better idea of what to expect.
Up until now, the general assumption was that Thanos' quest for the Infinity Stones would take him to earth, which, in turn, would bring The GOTG down to Star-Lord's home planet where they'd first encounter The Avengers. However, when asked how both teams would interact upon their first meeting during an interview with Fandango, Saldana teased that there would be some tension at first, before adding: "We’re also in space, so we’re not being held by gravity. And you know we’re stronger."
So, while the heroes will almost certainly journey to earth together at some point, this definitely seems to suggest that they will first lay eyes on each other in a more cosmic setting. We already know that Thanos will send his servants to earth to retrieve The Vision's Infinity Stone, so perhaps his teammates decide to travel to the stars in an attempt to get the jump on an imminent invasion?
All will be revealed when Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters next year, but for now be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place.
