Great choice. She was seriously underused in Skyfall. She needs to be in a movie that showcases her more, and she looks very beautiful and exotic enough to look almost alien without needing textured skin make up. It would be great to see a Bond girl again in a comic book franchise (other than Famke Janssen or Kim Basinger).

Or Judy Collins.

I'd rather have Phil Collins.

I was watching part of the BIG Prometheus making of on the blu ray last night.

Has anyone seen the Noomi Rapace screen-test?

She looks like she could kick anyone's a$$ when she flexes her guns.

[Joeyjojo72]

No not Noomi, but Rooney Mara would actually make a very interesting Gamora! She'd have to hit the weights but she would have a leaner, more assassin-like physique.

[Dark Raven]

If Berenice Marlohe isn't Gamora, I'd like to see her as Mantis in the classic costume.

[KangConquers]

So...with Star-Lord being cast, I imagine we'll hear news on the other main roles including Thanos, Drax, and Gamora. I'm excited.

[Lobo]

What about Missy Peregrym as Gamora? I bet Biel will be on the list for Gamora

[Joeyjojo72]

If only they could put a talented actress' brain in Jessica Biel's body. That creature would rule Hollywood.

Honestly though, it would be a damn shame if said body never got a chance to squeeze into a spandex costume. damn shame. and if you think of all the mediocre actresses that Whedon has put to good use, theres no reason she couldnt be serviceable as a relatively straightforward character like Gamora. I think maybe Ive pooh poohed her excessively. In an ensemble she could work.

I agree that she will probably be on the short list.

[Lobo]

As per your first sentence, we have Jennifer Lawrence who is VERY talented, has an amazing body, and for my tastes prettier, and well she is ruling Hollywood lol.

Gamora would actually be a far better fit for Biel then say .

Hmm gonna post my revised cast soon.

[Joeyjojo72]

Biel's body is unique. Jen Lawrence is a better actress no doubt, but she doesnt have what Biel has. But hey Im all about acting ability, not physique, so Id be thrilled with Ms. Lawrence in a Marvel movie. (Jen has a fine body btw. Not pooh poohing it in the least)

But for those who want the actor on the screen to look like the impossibly toned yet voluptous sexy heroes in the comics, Biel is your gal. If she had Lawrence's talent and "presence", she would be the ideal big screen superhero.

edit: JL wasnt a very good Mystique though. The makeup just didnt work for her and her character wasnt particularly memorable. But she would probably be great in a Marvel movie. She'd be fine as Ms. Marvel for example.

Lita held the belt 4 times and was women's champon for 73 days. I guess Marvel should cast her as Elektra once they have the rights back? For those not in the know, Lita was awful during promos in her WWE stint.

[Joeyjojo72]

No one cares who these "actors" are. This isnt a wrestling thread/board and Marvel/Feige/Whedon would never in a million years cast a pro wrestler. Make that a billion years. Please stop cluttering the board with this nonsense. Thanks.

She has got some guns on her

[Joeyjojo72]

She has underwhelmed too many times (including Prometheus). not even on the radar.

[Filmboy]

well, if the actress is going to be in heavy make-up/CGI like Zoe Saldana in Avatar, then it doesn't really matter which actress they cast for Gamora.

...why would Gamora need to be CGI? Or even heavily made-up? She's got green skin; in all other respects, she looks like a normal human woman.

You mean in the incredibly well-written part in Sherlock Holmes 2?

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I still think Biel could pull it off, she brought a lot of heart to the TR re-make, probably her best performance so far, and she was anything but TnA in that, think she would make a good Gamora.

So Gamora is basically a green mystique? Or something like She-hulk?

Don't understand the question...in what sense?

[Chewy]

I assume he's referring to the makeup an actor would wear, to which the answer is: I guess

[chamber-music]

How about Andrea Riseborough from Oblivion, Never Let Me Go, The Devil's Mistress, W.E, Brighton Rock and Welcome To The Punch
