Gamora Dies in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’
In Avengers: Infinity War, we witnessed Thanos’ relentless quest to collect all six Infinity Stones. Each stone was cunningly concealed throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the years leading up to this climactic moment, offering fans a comprehensive view of the challenges Thanos faced. However, the Soul Stone, the sixth and most elusive gem, made its debut appearance in Infinity War. The Soul Stone holds a unique significance among the Infinity Stones as it grants its wielder dominion over the souls of all living beings. Yet, obtaining the Soul Stone comes at a staggering price—it demands the sacrifice of a beloved person. The rule is crystal clear: a soul for a Soul.
In Infinity War, Thanos embarks on a heart-wrenching journey with Gamora to Vormir, the planet that houses the Soul Stone. Upon learning the sacrifice required to achieve his goal, Thanos finds himself in tears, ultimately making the excruciating choice to cast Gamora off a cliff. To Thanos, Gamora is not just another being; she is his cherished child. Her death marks the sacrifice of everything he holds dear to fulfill his mission. And just like that, Gamora meets her tragic end. While the MCU has shown that certain characters can be resurrected, Gamora is the exception. Avengers: Endgame clarified that any sacrifice made for the Soul Stone is irrevocable, even with the combined might of all the Infinity Stones.

Nevertheless, in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, a variant of Gamora emerges, courtesy of the Multiverse and intricate time-traveling escapades.
‘Avengers: Endgame’ Brings Gamora Back, With a Twist
In Avengers: Endgame, our favorite superheroes unite to recover the Infinity Stones and reverse Thanos’ catastrophic Snap. However, since Thanos obliterated the Infinity Stones in their timeline, which is known as Earth-616, the Avengers embark on a daring journey through alternate timelines to obtain each stone. Nebula, who possesses cybernetic components and coexists with another version of herself in that timeline, plays a pivotal role in retrieving the Power Stone from the same temple Peter Quill pilfered in the first Guardians of the Galaxy film. In an unexpected turn of events, the Nebula Variant receives a transmission from the Original Nebula, exposing Earth-616’s happenings to Thanos. Armed with this knowledge, Variant Thanos, aware of his victory against the Avengers but wary of the Time Heist’s consequences, breaches the Multiverse barrier and invades Earth-616.
Upon his arrival in Earth-616, Variant Thanos brings his formidable army, including his two daughters, Variant Nebula and Variant Gamora. Following the climactic battle and Thanos’ defeat, everyone who accompanied the Mad Titan to Earth-616 becomes trapped in the Avengers’ original timeline. Variant Gamora, therefore, finds herself in the MCU, hailing from a distinct timeline where she never shared adventures with the Guardians. This explains why her relationship with Peter takes on a completely different dynamic in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
