Gamora is depicted as a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, having escaped her previous life as an assassin after she was forcibly adopted by Thanos after he murdered half of her people, including her mother.

[5] Over time she becomes romantically involved with Peter Quill, and develops a positive relationship with her adopted sister Nebula despite their rivalrous upbringing.

She joins the Ravagers and allies with the Guardians of the Galaxy in their fight against the High Evolutionary, while rebuffing Quill's efforts to reboot a relationship between them.

Alternate versions of Gamora from within the MCU multiverse appear in Avengers: Endgame (2019), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.

"[6] Feige reiterated that sentiment in a September 2011 issue of Entertainment Weekly, saying, "There's an opportunity to do a big space epic, which Thor sort of hints at, in the cosmic side" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

[7] Feige announced that the film was in active development at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con during the Marvel Studios panel, with an intended release date of August 1, 2014.

He said the film's titular team would consist of the characters Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Groot, and Rocket.

[8] In early April 2013, Zoe Saldaña entered into negotiations to star as Gamora in the film, and it was confirmed she had been cast later that month.

Gamora plans to rebel against Thanos when he sends her to aid Ronan the Accuser, a Kree fanatic who wants to destroy the planet Xandar.

She travels to Xandar to retrieve an Infinity Stone that has been acquired by Peter Quill in order to sell it for enough money to afford to live the rest of her life.

Some months later, Gamora and the Guardians are hired by the Sovereign to fight off an alien attacking their valuable batteries, in exchange for a captured Nebula.

[12] Four years later, Gamora and the Guardians respond to a distress signal in space and end up rescuing Thor from his destroyed spacecraft, thereby learning about Thanos's quest to obtain the Infinity Stones.

He shows her a captured and tortured Nebula to emotionally manipulate Gamora into revealing the location of the Soul Stone.

Thanos and Gamora go to the planet Vormir where they are met by the Red Skull who tells them that to obtain the Soul Stone, one must sacrifice what they love.

When Thanos later uses the completed Infinity Gauntlet, he briefly reunites with a younger Gamora inside the Soul World.

In an alternate 2014, Gamora and Nebula engage in a fight against Korbintes on Korbin before being summoned by Thanos, who orders them to assist Ronan in obtaining the Power Stone.

In 2026, she and the Ravagers arrive on the Guardians of the Galaxy's new ship after getting a call from Nebula and she is dispatched to help them infiltrate the High Evolutionary's Orgosphere to retrieve Rocket's file.

Quill and Groot successfully defeat the High Evolutionary's men and capture Orgonian scientist Theel, jumping off with him and retrieving his memory before Gamora rescues them.

After a battle in which the High Evolutionary is defeated, and making peace with Quill, who finally accepts that she is not the same Gamora, she returns to the Ravagers.

He convinces her to make her own decisions free from her father's control and Gamora saves Stark from two of the Grandmaster's creatures, sacrificing her own chances of winning the race in the process.

In another alternate universe, a young Gamora meets Thanos during his attack on her planet, but she is rescued by Hela, the armies of Asgard and the Ten Rings.

"[22] Regarding Gamora's relationship with Nebula, Saldaña described it as "volatile" and added, "we're starting somewhere very crazy but appropriate given where we had ended things off in the first installment".
