Yeah, you are pushing the age thing hard, particularly for Drax, for whom it would not fit. He should be younger and superbuff, not 40's or older. Once again, he does not have to look like he's old enough to be Moondragon's father because he didn't father her in the body he's currently in.
That's true, but how awkward would it seem if (for example) they painted Chris Hemsworth Green and said he was Natalie Portman's father? It'd seem so stupid, and unbelievable. Drax needs to have some age and grit to him.
In the case of Gamora, they've yet to cast an action heroine born before 1980. Smulders, Johansen, Atwell, and the Sharon Carter short list (in addition to past short lists for Black Widow, Peggy etc) show the age range they'll likely be going with for Gamora, Ms. Marvel, Wasp, and other action heroines down the road.
We're not going to see Lynn Collins or Gina Torres cast in the role of Gamora, just like we never saw Mark Valley cast as Captain America, or Mila Jovovich cast as Black Widow, despite being heavily fan cast. They have a certain age group they go with for that type of hero, and they'll stick to it.
Star-Lord is a slightly different story, and the only one I'd be willing to bend on a bit. I still believe, however, if they're going with Star-Lord's origins vs. Joining Star-Lord in progress (Think The X-Men already being in place in the first X-Movie), we should have a 25-30 year old Star-Lord. If they decide to "join him in progress" anything up to 40 is fine.
