Zoe Saldaña Says Marvel Should Continue the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Franchise
After playing Gamora in three Guardians of the Galaxy films, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, Zoe Saldaña’s time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has come to an end.
While the actress has been adamant that she will not return to play Gamora, the Guardians of the Galaxy star does not necessarily think that her character’s story has to end with her departure.
“I mean, so far, I think that she is [gone for good] for me, but I don’t think Gamora has gone for good,” Saldaña told the Discourse podcast.
A New-Look Guardians?
With Saldaña, Dave Bautista, and James Gunn all exiting the franchise, the future of the Guardians of the Galaxy will certainly look different.
At the conclusion of the Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Gamora, Nebula, Drax, Mantis, and Peter Quill had left the team to head off on their own. That left Rocket Racccoon, Groot, Adam Warlock, Cosmo, Kraglin, Phyla, and Blurp as the new Guardians of the Galaxy.
Saldaña Wants to See the Franchise Continue
While Marvel has promised that Star-Lord will return, the future of the Guardians is unclear. Despite having no interest in returning to the franchise, Saldaña believes the Guardians of the Galaxy should carry on.
“I would think it would be a huge loss for Marvel if they didn’t find a way to bring back the Guardians of the Galaxy,” Saldaña said.
“It’s just such a fan-favorite group of misfits, you know? And then at the helm, they had a voice like James Gunn’s writing — which is just so marvelous for and very specific for this genre. And it’s so great for this genre as well. So, I would be the first one in the first row to sort of celebrate when the Guardians of the Galaxy come back.”
Like Saldaña, James Gunn has publically stated that he hopes the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise continues without him. Perhaps then, Marvel will choose to capitalize on the franchise’s popularity and make a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 4.
