After Guardians of the Galaxy 3 brought the story of the Guardians to a close, Zoe Saldaña has said she's ready to leave her MCU character Gamora behind.
"Let it be a brown girl to play Gamora," Saldaña told Variety of her hopes for the character's future. "Give that opportunity to a woman of color and see what the new Gamora is going to bring to the table. Like I brought Nyota Uhura to the table with Nichelle Nichols' blessing." Nyota Uhura, of course, is Saldaña's Star Trek character, originally played by Nichols.
While Guardians of the Galaxy 3 teased that 'Star-Lord will return,' it doesn't sound like we'll be seeing Gamora again, then. That makes sense, considering Gamora and Peter Quill went their separate ways at the end of the movie – the version of Gamora that's alive in the MCU is technically from the past, meaning she didn't experience the events of Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and its sequel.
Next year also brings with it Thunderbolts*, which has a massive cast including Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes and Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova. "I think [Bucky] finds himself way more suited to them than initially maybe he wants to admit, but he's always an evolving character, and that's what I love about him," Stan told us recently. "It's always trying to find another way of expressing. I think it'll be fun. I think people will be excited for the movie."
