Are Zoe Saldana and James Gunn Cooking Up a Reunion in the DC Universe?
While James Gunn and Zoe Saldana have both firmly exited the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the two Hollywood luminaries may not be done making superhero movies together yet.
After bringing the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise to life, Gunn left the MCU to become the head of DC Studios. Under the director’s watchful eye, the Guardians went from a little-known comic book team to a full-fledged box office tentpole.

Saldana, meanwhile, starred as Gamora in all three Guardians movies, even reappearing in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 after her character’s death in Avengers: Endgame.
Saldana made it clear that she was exiting the MCU after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 as she was not interested in continuing without Gunn.
Zoe Saldana Would Make More Superhero Films
In a recent interview with ComicBook, however, Saldana seemed open to returning to superhero films.

“Yes, I do, I do. I love the superhero universe of any sort. I have sons that are obsessed with comic books right now, and superheroes. So for me to be a part of projects that they will get to watch for the next 10, 15 years of their whole lives. It’s a dream for me. If it never gets to happen, or if it happens with other filmmakers, and not James Gunn, or if it happens again with James Gunn, I would be so grateful.”
James Gunn Would Love to Reunite
When Gunn was made aware of Saldana’s comments, he confirmed that he would love to work with the actress again. When asked if he would be interested in working with Saldana in the DC Universe and if he could find a role for her, Gunn was adamant.

“Ofc and ofc. I love Zoe,” Gunn wrote on Threads.
While it is unlikely that we will see Saldana or Gunn work again inside the confines of the MCU, it sounds like a reunion in the DC Universe could be on the horizon.

Still, Saldana’s original response could also leave the door open for a return as Gamora. I guess we will have to wait and see.
