Zoe Saldana excited for ‘Guardians…’-‘Avengers’ crossover

Zoe Saldana says she is excited about her character from film "Guardians of the Galaxy" finding a place in "Avengers: Infinity War". Saldana will reprise her role of a green-skinned alien named Gamora for the film, and will battle the evil alongside superheroes like Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Captain America (Chris Evans). In fact, she will also be joined by her squad from "Guardians of the Galaxy" in the next "Avengers" instalment.

"It will be amazing to have all of these characters of Marvel Universe come together and fight a supervillain Thanos. We have shot some scenes and they are turning out to be amazing," Saldana said in Tokyo. "The thing that I am most excited about is that they are keeping the essence of what makes 'Guardians of the Galaxy' unique. We are the same -- our misfit self -- fighting with each other,” she said.

With the backdrop titled 'Awesome Mixtape #2', the second part of the 2014 film "Guardians of the Galaxy" will take further the team's adventures as they traverse different cosmos to protect their world. Talking about her character in the film, Saldana said: "I think the hardest thing that James asked me to do was in the first film to go through the four-hour process of make-up to bring this character. I had never experienced the process like this. It was very gruelling and taxing.”
