As excited as we all are to finally see Thanos get off his lazy, purple bum off his floating throne and retrieve all of the Infinity Stones, place them on his Gauntlet, and wreak death and destruction upon the universe, it will be even more exciting to see superheroes from across the MCU encounter each other for the first time.

Just last night, Zoe Saldana confirmed to that her character Gamora (as well the rest of her team of misfits) will appear in Avengers: Infinity War. While she isn’t looking forward to going through the grueling 5-hour process of becoming the green-skinned assassin and hasn’t read the script (penned by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely) yet, she feels happy and lucky to be included in third installment in the superhero team-up franchise.

“I’m curious to see how they are going to portray us,” Saldana told IGN. “But the good thing that keeps me relaxed is that these directors [Anthony and Joe Russo] are good. They have a really good pedigree. Their last movie [Captain America: Civil War] was… I liked it. I liked their choices. And everyone that worked with them really had a great experience. And James Gunn is a producer on it, so I know he won’t ever let the integrity of what he’s created for the Guardians ever become compromised. So I’m at ease. Plus, I love Marvel producers; they’re all great; they all want us to win.”

Set to the backdrop of ‘Awesome Mixtape #2,’ Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team’s adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill’s true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes’ aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is written and directed by James Gunn (Slither). The film marks the return of the original Guardians, including Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) as Peter Quill/Star-Lord; Zoe Saldana (Star Trek Into Darkness) as Gamora; Dave Bautista (Spectre) as Drax; Vin Diesel (Furious 7) as the voice of Groot; Bradley Cooper (American Sniper) as the voice of Rocket; Michael Rooker (Jumper) as Yondu; Karen Gillan (The Big Short) as Nebula; and Sean Gunn (Gilmore Girls) as Kraglin. New cast members include Pom Klementieff (Oldboy), Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby, Everest), Chris Sullivan (The Knick, The Drop) and Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight, The Thing).
