What happens to Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3? Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 reunites the MCU's most dysfunctional heroes for their first feature-length adventure since Avengers Endgame, and we're all wondering what's going on with this new version of Gamora.
The big Marvel villain Thanos killed 'our' Gamora (played by Zoë Saldana in the Guardians of the Galaxy cast) during the events of Infinity War, and a different version of the MCU character was pulled out of time to replace her in Endgame. That variant is now the go-to for the rest of Marvel's Phase 5 and beyond, but it's more complex than that.
Ever since the end of that Marvel movie, the Guardians of the Galaxy have been debating how to deal with this new Gamora. Star-Lord desperately wants to make her fall in love with him, but the rest of the team are more inclined to let Gamora move on. With a new movie in theatres now, it's time to ask what happens to Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3? Warning spoilers for the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 release date ahead, so steer clear if you haven't seen the latest MCU flick yet and just read our Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 review instead.
What happens to Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3?
In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 Gamora is now part of the Ravagers team, but she does help the Guardians in their mission to save Rocket.
At the start of the new superhero movie, Gamora is tasked with assisting the Guardians team infiltrate Orgo Corp, to gather valuable data that can help with Rocket's health scare. She is incredibly frosty to Peter Quill, who insists on trying to remind her of the good old times, even though she is not the one he actually shared those memories with.
Throughout the James Gunn movie, this Gamora variant slowly becomes more involved in the Guardians dynamic and learns about their endearing found-family connection. She fights alongside them against High Evolutionary's forces and helps to save a lot of people (and animals) in the process.
By the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ending, Gamora has definitely softened a little. However, she doesn't join the new Guardians of the Galaxy team, and instead returns to her own found-family with the Ravagers. There's a moment in the MCU movie where it looks like Star-Lord and Gamora could get back together, but it isn't to be. Maybe that will happen if and when the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 4 release date arrives.
