I am becoming a fan of Rosario Dawson for the role.. We'll see what happens!
I'm not opposed to this casting choice for Gamora. She looks exotic enough.

Yeah Sin City is camp start to finish. Not really fair to judge an actor based on their performance in it imo
Yeah, what Chewy said. Rosario Dawson has not only proved herself an excellent actress but a swell human being too. There's no reason to loose your rag because you think people are just casting Gail from Sin City.
I'ld love to see Rosario in a film like this. Not only is she tough but she's funny too which is perfect for a movie like this. It also broke my heart a little when she said she thought she would never be a star because at 35 she's too old to become one.
My choice of Dawson has nothing to do with Sin City. I think shes a very good actress, charming witty in "person", with the right physicality. Her age isnt an issue. Shes a young looking 33 (as opposed to a very old looking 34 a la Lynn Collins). I dont seen Gamora as a young woman anyway. Definitely has some mileage.
Casting based on past experience with a sword or leather skirts is just dumb. The Wonder Woman board suffers from this idea. Acting ability and screen presence are absolutely crucial to pull off these movies. Casting someone because they were on some syndicated fantasy show or because they look just like the generic comic book version of the character or because they played a similar character in a previous movie makes no sense. You get the very best talent available, you thoroughly test screen, and you go from there.
Typecasting always plays some part, but its not nearly as important as acting chops. Nor is physical appearance. That said, I think Rosario has both. Im sure there are other good options, but shes at the top of my current list.
Im hoping the MCU version is mid thirties (or the alien equivalent). If she's 41 by the end of a trilogy, thats fine as long as she's in reasonable shape. But Im only concerned about the current movie.
A 35 year old can't decide to stop assassinating and do good stuff? What's the age cut-off for major life decisions?
It's kind of the same issue as the X-Men mostly looking human, except for Mystique, Nightcrawler, Beast, Archangel, Apocalypse, etc all being... blue
The best way to handle it, imo, is to use different shades and textures. Maybe a slightly bluish-green for Gamora, a darker green for Drax, and a paler green for Mantis
I would rather Mantis is not green but just olive skinned. I prefer that look where she has the yellow and green grass skirt and impossible bra costume but normal human skin. That will distinguish her from Gamora as well, otherwise there are just too many green-skinned people when it isn't necessary for Mantis to be that, and will make Gamora less unique.
I prefer Gamora to be younger than older. I don't like Rosario Dawson for the role. Not that keen on Lynn Collins either. I think with Gamora, any of these women we've fan-casted for the role of WW could potentially work - at least those who are younger but might not be completely perfect for Diana.
I hope she looks as good in green skin make up as any of these recent Orion Slave Girls from Star Trek. Not so sure though that Rachel Nichols looked quite as good in the green make up as some of the girls used on Enterprise, maybe because they looked more statueque and their hair (wigs) was possibly darker.
