If you’ve been following the events of the Marvel Cinematic Universe closely, you’ll know that the plot of these amazing movies has been leading up to the untimely events of the famed Infinity War, a virile battle against the villain Thanos and his deadly weapon, the Infinity Gauntlet. With previous rumors about when exactly Infinity War would start shooting, there have also been speculations on who exactly would be involved in the cast for this dynamic feature event. Last month, it was revealed by Omega Underground that Infinity War would start filming this month, purportedly on January 23rd, but the cast listing still remains a mystery. Of course, the usuals were expected to show up, but it was also suggested via Disney casting calls that characters such as Doctor Strange, Carol Danvers, and the Guardians of the Galaxy would also be involved in the plot, including Star Lord, Drax and Gamora.

Luckily for us, word has finally be confirmed that we will definitely be seeing the interstellar assassin in action once again. Earlier at the Golden Globes, it was confirmed by Zoe Saldana herself that Gamora would be involved in Infinity War and that she is incredibly excited for the chance to be a part of something so big. As she spoke on the Red Carpet, Saldana commented on the upcoming film, stating that she may not be looking forward to the five hours it takes to apply all that green make-up (honestly, who would?), but she loves being a part of this Marvel verse as such an interesting character. You can check out the clip on MTV’s website  to see her confirmation for yourself.

Knowing now that Gamora will be involved in Infinity War, we can also assume that the rest of the Guardians will also show up to take on Thanos in a bid to save the galaxy. However, we still have no confirmation on the remaining characters listed and may not hear anything for a while still. Hopefully, once filming is underway, we’ll get more word on which characters will for sure be involved in the upcoming, action-packed war title we’ve been waiting for, for 8 years. Until then, we always have Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 to look forward to this summer, and with the latest trailer released that showcases the lovable baby Groot in action, we know that this will be a film no one will forget about any time soon.
