Mean Girls star Amanda Seyfried seemingly turned down the role of Gamora in 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy.
In an interview with MTV International in promotion of The Art of Racing in the Rain, Seyfried revealed, "I turned down [a superhero movie] once and they haven’t called back since. And it was a big’un. I don’t regret it because I didn’t want to be green for six months out of every year. They tell beautiful stories 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 live’ and I don’t think I would’ve been happy."
As there are notably few green, female characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it seems likely Seyfried is talking about the role of Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy. That role eventually went to Avatar veteran Zoe Saldana, who most recently reprised her role in Avengers: Endgame.
Directed by Taika Waititi, Thor: Love and Thunder, starring Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, and Chris Hemsworth arrives in theaters November 5, 2021.
