Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was released earlier this year to positive reviews from MCU fans. The film, which is the final installment of James Gunn’s franchise, featured the return of Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Vin Diesel, and Bradley Cooper reprising their GOTG characters. However, Zoe initially thought that her character would have less screen time due to her fate in Avengers: Endgame.
In Avengers: Infinity War, Gamora, who was originally part of the Guardians, was killed by Thanos in order to obtain the Soul Stone. In Avengers: Endgame, a different version of her character was seen, one who was never a part of the GOTG team. In the new film, Zoe returns as this alternate version and joins the gang on an outer space adventure. Zoe recently discussed the change in her character’s status quo and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to have significant screen time in the film.
In a Marvel Studios Assembled documentary about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Zoe Saldana opened up about her role in the film and how she thought she would only have a few small scenes because of the changes made to her character. She said, “I’m surprised Gamora is in this installment as much because I immediately knew what had happened in Avengers.”
Continuing, Zoe Saldana added, “I was just like, well, it would be an honor to at least come for two scenes and then bid everyone farewell, but I was deeply surprised and really grateful that I got to play, that Gamora really has a lot to do and a lot to observe.”
The actress also talked about the evolution of her character, saying, “The Gamora of Volume 1 will have a lot more in common with the Gamora of Volume 3 for sure. Even though they have these shared experiences, the other Gamora feels familiar to her, but she doesn’t understand why. It’s a very confusing concept for her. But I do find this Gamora very exciting because she’s very independent and she’s really wild. She’s different. There’s a spunk to her that Gamora never really had.”
