Where Is Gamora?|A Theory and Deleted Scene Details

Although we watched Gamora die at the hands of her own father Thanos as he sacrificed her for the soul stone during Avengers: Infinity War the character has returned thanks to TIME TRAVEL! A deleted scene from Avengers Endgame shows a moment after Tony snaps away Thanos and his army. Everyone takes a knee when Tony dies in Pepper’s arms to honor the fallen hero.

Quill is looking for Gamora, however, is it a good idea to be looking for someone who has no connection or interest in being found?

Casting Controversy & Why Acting Is No Longer a Form of Art

There is a big problem these days with casting actors for roles. The moment a movie goes in to production casting begins, and sometimes the casting choice may not be the appropriate choice for the character they are chosen to play.  Now with social media, the public gets instant access to breaking news about who was cast to take a role in an upcoming film. Sometimes the news receives a lot of backlash and sometimes people embrace the choice.  This is specifically true for a recent controversial statement made by Scarlett Johansson, known for her portrayal as Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  Johansson recently did an interview with “As If” magazine, and made a bold statement that she feels political correctness is antithetical to art.  “You know, as an actor I should be allowed to play any person, or any tree, or any animal because that’s my job and that’s the requirements of my job. It’s a trend in my business and it needs to h...
