GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 Star Zoe Saldaña Suggests The Threequel Will Be Her Last Time Playing Gamora

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 star Zoe Saldaña has commented on returning as Gamora in the upcoming threequel, but it doesn't sound like she intends to stick around as the Variant beyond this movie...

A lot of heroes died in Avengers: Infinity War, but before Thanos snapped his fingers, the movie dealt its biggest blow when the Mad Titan killed Gamora. Throwing his daughter to her death, the villain was able to acquire the Soul Stone in one of the MCU's most heartbreaking moments. 

In Avengers: Endgame, time travel meant Gamora was able to return in the present day, albeit without any memory of her fellow Guardians of the Galaxy. The 2014-era Variant escaped in the blockbuster's closing moments and will show up in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 as the new leader of the Ravagers.

However, rather than serving as a fresh start for Gamora in the MCU, it sounds like this might be the last we see of her. 

"[Filming] started bitter in the beginning cause obviously you're anticipating the end, but I'm just so happy that once again I got to work with great people," Zoe Saldaña tells Entertainment Weekly. "I had an evolution that I witnessed of myself, but also my director and my cast. I just felt very blessed and grateful. It was a very sweet departure, I have to say."

That sounds pretty definitive, though we probably shouldn't be surprised. Filmmaker James Gunn has said on multiple occasions that the threequel ends this iteration of the team's story, and we are going into the movie expecting some big character deaths. 

While we're sure the Guardians team will live on in some form, it won't be with Gunn. His four-year deal with Warner Bros. as the head of DC Studios means any sort of MCU return is off the table until the end of 2026 at the earliest. Something tells us Marvel Studios won't want to sideline the team for that long.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is set to be released in theaters on May 5, 2023.

Meh, I like her as an actress, but I never bought her as the most dangerous woman in the galaxy like the comics proclaim.

@ModHaterSLADE - True, but l’m still not going to go up against her. 😂

@ModHaterSLADE - She doesn't have presence, Nebula is more intimidating than her.

@abd00bie - Yeah, I think Nebula comes off as far more badass.

@ModHaterSLADE - You are right but that's not really her fault, the character was never written as the most dangerous woman in the galaxy even if I think they said it at some point. I do think she did a very good job with the Gamora that was given to us. Definitely one of the highlights of IW for me.

Not exactly a surprise although I guess Gunn won’t get to enforce that this is the last of his iteration of the team/characters. I kid. I would like to see Peter and Gamorra together again but we will see . She’s a good influence on him considering he can be a shallow person at times.

@RolandD - I believe that's the point - he's not going to be shallow cause he learned so much with her... Not not this one. They're not going to be together and it will be HARD.

Considering how close they are to Gunn, all of them are more than likely leaving with him (and in Dave's case, Disney wants him out yesterday).

Hoping we see them again at DC.

@TheHumanSpider2 - I think Rocket, Groot, Mantis, and Nebula will remain with Adam Warlock taking over and one more new Guardian.

the least intimidating "most dangerous woman in the galaxy" ever. Never felt anything with her so hopefully she at least goes out with a bang.

Star Lord and Gamora have a happy ending together and drax and rocket die epicly.

Sad to see her go, but at some point some of these characters need to end so that their character arcs have meaning.
