In honor of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which opens on Friday May 5^th, here is a look at the journey of Gamora.

MASSIVE SPOILERS

Gamora has been through a lot in the MCU. Gamora was working for Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace) when she first met Star-Lord (Chris Pratt). They were both after the Orb. Ronan was seeking the Orb for Thanos (Josh Brolin). Thanos is Gamora and Nebula’s (Karen Gillan) father. Gamora teams up with Star-Lord, Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (Bradley Cooper), and Groot (Vin Diesel) after being locked up in the Kyln which they eventually escape right before Ronan arrives. Eventually Gamora and the Guardians are able to defeat Ronan and become heroes of the Galaxy.

In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Gamora and Star-Lord grow closer. A major development happens between Gamora and her sister Nebula. Nebula, who also worked for Ronan and remained Ronan’s ally for the bulk of Guardians of the Galaxy, went off on her own. After trying to kill each other Nebula reveals to Gamora that all Nebula really wanted was a sister. After that they grow closer, they unite to stop Ego (Kurt Russell) a powerful celestial and the birth father of Star-Lord.

In Avengers: Infinity War Gamora reveals Thanos’ plans for the infinity stones once he achieves all six of them. After going to Knowhere to see The Collector (Benicio Del Toro), Thanos kidnaps Gamora, separating her from Star-Lord. By this point Gamora and Star-Lord have officially become a couple. Thanos brings Gamora aboard his ship and wants to know where the Soul Stone is. Gamora refuses to tell him anything until Thanos reveals that he is holding Nebula and has been torturing her. In order to prevent Thanos from hurting Nebula any further, Gamora tells Thanos the Soul Stone is on Vormir. Thanos brings Gamora to Vorimir. In order to achieve the Soul Stone, Thanos sacrifices Gamora.

In Avengers: Endgame Nebula meets up with Gamora from 2014, the events of the first Guardians movie. Gamora is with Thanos from 2014. After spending some time with Nebula, Gamora helps Nebula along with The Avengers in the final battle against Thanos and his army. After the battle, Gamora vanishes.

A big looming question that will get answered in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is where Gamora has been all this time. After the battle in Avengers: Endgame, where did Gamora go afterward? Unlike the rest of the Guardians, Gamora has not been seen since Endgame. She did not appear in Thor: Love and Thunder or the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Zoe Saldana recently stated that this will be her final time as Gamora. I am most interested to see how Gamora’s journey ends especially since this is a different Gamora. The Gamora MCU fans have known died in Avengers: Infinity War. This Gamora fans met in Avengers: Endgame. Will they kill off Gamora again? Given it happened once before, it is kind of unlikely they would want to go through that again. Anything is possible. Gamora could ride off in the sunset and just not been seen again. Hopefully in Vol. 3, the audience will get to know this Gamora a bit and see what her dynamic is with Nebula and Star-Lord and the rest of the Guardians.
