Endgame May Kill Thanos… But Doom Gamora
No matter how the hero sandwich ofAvengers : Endgamemanage to do it , everyone wait that the iconic ' Thanos Snap ' will be reversed ( with a tripper through aquantum time maelstrom with Ant - Manone of the top theory ) . And whether Thanos is killed or somehow defeated and imprisoned , fans should n’t rush to take over that everyoneelsewho was worked into his master plan will get to have a all sweet start . specially not Gamora , once the rumour distribute of her role in helping Thanos gain all the Infinity Stones , before she was left in his viewing along with the dead of Xandar , Asgard , Knowhere , and more .
For now , the literal timeline of the future , reset MCU is anyone ’s supposition . Will the dead return key ? Will snap survivors remember those who were lose ? Or will a new timeline be make … one in which Gamora never rat Thanos , perhaps ? No matter the solvent , felon in the MCU will have their reasons to pop Gamora . Maybe becauseshe serve Thanos slay thousands(which a deleted scene confirms ) . perchance because she ’s deemed an accomplice , or a peter Thanos used to stamp out billions . Or maybe just that she remains a threat so long as Thanos survive , and a prime target for anyone seek revenge .

It does n’t take too much imagination to see whyEndgamecould get Gamora back to life sentence … before sending her off on her own quest to sincerely understand what effect her death and association to the Soul Stone may have left behind . After all , she was n’t simply " click " out of existence like every other Guardian . SoInfinity Waralready show why she might part way with her institute mob inEndgame … but the Dark Guardians would be just the matter to reunify them .
Star - Lord wo n’t need an excuse to track Gamora down once he learns a stripe of outlaws wants her dead . But after Thanos is dead , Drax will need a new reason to keep on living rather of joining his family unit . Rocket never pay back the fortune to show he would struggle for his newfound syndicate . Nebula racing across the galaxy to protect her sister could finallycement her purpose among the Guardians , and Groot … well , he ’s Groot .
That still only covers the heroes ' side of a Dark Guardians plot line . There would also be the chance to stick in half a twelve new cosmic villains , antiheroes , or literal heroes , since the mission to kill Gamora is n’t actually that ' evil . ' With fans long demanding tosee Nova come to the MCU , or possibly even a payoff ofThor : Ragnarok ’s Beta Ray Bill Easter Egg , the Dark Guardians would be the perfect opportunity . Not to cite their leaderStarfox , is rumored for Marvel ’s coming Eternals movie , too . The star are aligned for Marvel to make it happen , so hopefully the studio apartment will take this opportunity to give theGuardians of the Galaxya refreshing beginning - while coming full circle to the organization of the team in their very first film .
It may be a long nip , but it may also be just whereJames Gunn ’s hand forGuardians 3was channelize toward on its own , think of only flimsy corrections may be involve to give the Guardians a fresh first . But how well it can do work thanks to the MCU ’s other films , and whether or not the filmmakers and studio apartment realize that are different questions .
