James Gunn almost killed off a major character in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 before Marvel executives persuaded him against it.
Though the character – Zoe Saldaña’s Gamora – eventually met their demise a year later in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, the director said he was “talked out of” his original plan by Marvel Studio president Kevin Feige and executive producer Louis D’Esposito.
