O. Russell’s frequent collaborator Christian Bale has been cast as the lead in this mysterious project about a year ago, before its production was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Margot Robbie later joined the project, and John David Washington quickly followed, replacing Michael B. Jordan who dropped due to scheduling conflict.

This movie finally started shooting in Los Angeles this month, and O. Russell ended up rounding out the entire ensemble. The full cast now includes such stars as Rami Malek, Zoe Saldana, Robert De Niro, Mike Myers, Timothy Olyphant, Michael Shannon, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Andrea Riseborough, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Alessandro Nivola.

Expectations are running high for this project because O. Russell directed many actors to Oscar-nominated performances in the past. The plot of this untitled movie is still being kept under wraps, and it will be O. Russell’s first directorial effort since the 2015 biopic Joy, starring Jennifer Lawrence.

The Avatar actress has played Gamora in four MCU films, the most recent of which was Avengers: Endgame.

There, her character, who is the adopted daughter of Thanos, decided to go off to an unknown location, leaving her fellow Guardians of the Galaxy (and Thor) to go in search of her.

With James Gunn finally being allowed to return to the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and the third installment moving ahead, Saldana has shared her thoughts on what she would like to happen to her green alter-ego.

“There’s a part of me that wants her to go back. Find her way back to the Guardians. But there’s also a part of me that wants to explore a bad Gamora,” she said at Seattle’s ACE Comic-Con.

“I’ve never seen that and she’s, you know, she’s considered the most lethal assassin. The most lethal woman in the galaxy. So I would want to see what that wrath looks like, also because it would just give me layers to sort of work on. But yeah, I want her to get back to the Guardians.”

With Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. III only due out in 2021, there’s a lot of time to speculate…

The 39-year-old is best known for starring in some of Hollywood’s best known franchises including Pirates of the Caribbean, Guardians of the Galaxy and Star Trek, and will next be seen in Avengers: Infinity War.

In spite of her success, the actress told British website Net-a-Porter that she is often viewed judgmentally for choosing roles in superhero flicks.

In her defense, Zoe said that those doing so would do well to remind themselves just how important such characters are to children.

“These actors [playing superheroes] understand the role that they play inspires a 5 year old who has one dying wish to meet a superhero. That actor takes time out of their life and sits down with that 5 year old and says, ‘I see you, I hear you, and you matter.’

“Those elitists should be a little more cognizant about what playing a superhero means to a young child. Because you’re not just dissing me, you’re dissing what that child considers important in their world.

“I feel so proud to be living in space, to be playing green and blue aliens, to inspire, primarily, the younger generations. I remember what it was like to be young and to feel completely excluded out of the mainstream conversation of life because I was just little and unimportant and ‘other.’”

Keep rocking that blue and green, Zoe.
