Zoe Saldana teases her return as Gamora in Avengers 4. Even before reshoots for the Phase 3 capper began, the actress already let it slip that she'd be back as Gamora, despite her fate in Avengers: Infinity War. However, it wasn't until now that fans finally learned that she's partaking in the scheduled reshoots that will serve to wrap-up the blockbuster sequel.
One of the most integral relationships in Infinity War was that of Gamora and Thanos, who were finally reunited for the first time following the former joining the Guardians of the Galaxy. Despite what his adopted daughter thought of him, it turns out that the intergalactic villain did love Gamora, which helped make the Mad Titan compelling to viewers. With his goal of balancing the universe now fulfilled, Thanos is enjoying retirement, but with the surviving heroes gearing up to avenge the universe following the galactic genocide, the original Avengers may have one more ally to help them take down Thanos, in the form of Gamora.

Taking to Instagram, Saldana posted an image of her getting prepped to reprise the Gamora role for Avengers 4. The caption may have indicated "flashback," but it could very well be in reference to Neil Young's "Harvest Moon," which lyrics she used in the caption. Additionally, actress Karen Gillan (Gamora's sister Nebula) also added an Instagram story of her being made-up, using it to announce her last day on set. While some wondered if Saldana's post might have been a throwback to a prior shoot, the fact that Gillan was on set at the same time lends credence to Saldana's image being new. Check out Saldana and Gillan's posts below.
While it's no secret that Avengers 4 will bring back characters who were dead by the end of Infinity War, resurrecting Gamora will be a bit trickier compared to those who were affected by Thanos' snap. Instead of being turned to dust, the character was thrown off a cliff, as her life was sacrificed in exchange for the Mad Titan to get the Soul Stone. Of course, since fans don't really know much about how exactly the exchange works - with a young Gamora seemingly reunited with Thanos in the Soul World - there's a possibility that she was just trapped in the alternate dimension like some popular theories claim. That said, Marvel Studios would have to craft a solid explanation if they decide to revive her, so as not to cheapen the impact of her emotional death in Avengers 3.
Otherwise, Gamora can appear in Avengers 4 in flashbacks or via time travel. Loki, who also died differently from those who were snapped out of existence, looks likely to make a return in the still-untitled sequel, after leaked set images made their way online last year. His involvement, however, is believed to be limited to flashbacks, as the film revisits the Battle of New York, which he was an integral part of. Considering Gamora's large part in Thanos' history, not to mention the fact that Nebula is still around, the sisters' relationship with their adoptive father could be further explored, and might even factor into the villain's defeat.
