Back when Guardians of the Galaxy was released in theatres in 2014, comic book fans everywhere were excited to see another strong female character represented in the genre with Zoe Saldana’s Gamora.
The film will also feature the return of Karen Gillan’s Nebula as well, who is reunited with her sister, Gamora, through a strange set of circumstances in the sequel.
So, after years of fans being confused by the lesser amounts of figures made for female characters in blockbusters, especially compared to their male counterparts, this should come as a welcome bit of news.
However, they were later confused when the film’s toy lines all but excluded the character from their lineups, prompting the online #WheresGamora to be created, in the hopes of calling attention to the constant exclusion of female film characters from their merchandising.
