In Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, it doesn’t take Mantis’ empath abilities to see that Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), has a thing for Gamora (Zoe Saldana), but the love they share for one another goes deeper than just a mere physical attraction.
In an interview with MamaSmith’s.com, Guardians Vol. 2 director James Gunn spoke a bit about how he and his actors approached the task of furthering this relationship in the sequel. Here’s what he had to say:
“At the end of the movie we have a moment between the two of them where something is acknowledged. Zoe and I actually talked about this for a long time – about having a kiss in the movie. We tried to treat these characters with such respect and such love. Gamora is a character who would not be swept up in the moment by passion, and if she was, I think she would have to deal with the ramifications of that. I don’t think she would be easy on herself about it. I think at the end, what we see between the two of them is a truer love story. Where she loves him, and he loves her – and she acknowledges that at the end of the movie – but that’s a love that’s based not only on attraction but on a really deep friendship that the two of them have.”
Directed by James Gunn, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Kurt Russell, Sean Gunn, Elizabeth Debicki, Chris Sullivan, Michael Rosenbaum and Sylvester Stallone.
