12 MCU Characters Who Almost Looked WAY Cooler
10. Gamora
When Guardians of the Galaxy was released in 2014, the team and the individual characters themselves were strangers to even some of the most hardcore comic fans. Though Gamora may have had the greatest chance of being recognised, thanks to her role alongside Adam Warlock in his pursuit of the soul stone, she was still relatively unknown.
With no preconceptions or expectations of the character, the designers may have had more licence to play with Gamora’s look than with others. However, Zoe Saldana’s character was ultimately kept very aesthetically close to her comic counterpart.
The approved design at one stage however, peppered Gamora’s alien green skin with a blue, almost tribal pattern, not dissimilar to that of Drax’s. It makes her seem somehow more fearsome and intimidating, suggesting even more intrigue to her mysterious past. Are all of Gamora’s species like this, or are these scars? Perhaps the result of her childhood, constantly in battle with her sister?
