Amanda Seyfried Apparently Turned Down the Role of Gamora inGuardians of the Galaxy

Not every actor in Hollywood want to dress up as a dark-green alien all the time .

For the few , the audacious , the uncoerced to sit in composition chairs forhours upon hoursevery day , the chance to toy heroes from places other than Earth can be an exciting one , but it ’s not an chance all actors are into . Take the fantabulous Amanda Seyfried , for example , who divulge recently that she declined to be a part of a Marvel film to play a role that sounds a lot likeGamorain Guardians of the Galaxy .

Here ’s what she tell , to MTV :

I turned down one [ superhero role ] once and they have n’t called back since . And it was a big’un . I do n’t repent it because I did n’t want to be green for six months out of every year . They tell beautiful story through superheroes , and my daughter ’s now really obsessed with superheroes now , and part of me wishes I ’d done it , but the other part of me is like ‘ I had a life to exist ’ and I do n’t think I would ’ve been happy .

She ’s not faulty ; the MCU picture are quite a commitment , with Zoe Saldana come out in four so far ( unless I ’m forgetting something , which I legitimately might be ) as the fleeceable - skinned charwoman that Seyfried apparently passed on .

For my part , I do n’t know if the function of Gamora particularly beseem Seyfried anyways , though I ’m certain she would have done a fantastic job of it . We ’ll next see Gamora , uh , sometime , in all probability in Guardians of the Galaxy vol . 3 .
