Marvel is continuing what should be a week of character posters for Guardians of the Galaxy, beginning with yesterday's Rocket Raccoon and Groot image. Today's features Zoe Saldana as the badass warrior, Gamora, who has the closest links to the villain Thanos as his adopted daughter. So why is she part of a team designed to foil his plans to reclaim a mysterious and powerful orb? While there could be some changes in the movie version, in the comics Thanos has tried to kill her multiple times and even wiped her out of existence once. So there's a little bit of bad blood.
Directed by James Gunn with Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, and Dave Bautista starring, Guardians of the Galaxy opens August 1st.
PLOT: From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team – the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits – Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand – with the galaxy’s fate in the balance. Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” is presented by Marvel Studios. The film releases August 1, 2014, and is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
