It has almost been a year since the release ofGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which brought the beloved Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise to a fascinating apex. The film not only served as the finale for the existing roster of the team, but the last installment helmed by writer-director James Gunn. Of course, amid the deluge of modern cinematic universes, there has been the question of whether or not the Guardians could return to the big screen in any capacity, either with the roster of the team established at the end of Vol. 3, or with a recast crop of characters. Zoe Saldaña, who portrayed Gamora in the franchise, recently told The Playlist's Discourse podcast that she hopes the Guardians of the Galaxy return.
