It turns out we could have seen Mamma Mia actress Amanda Seyfried in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The actress has opened up about passing on a major role in the superhero-verse, and while she didn't specify which character it was, the fact that being painted green was a massive deal breaker for her points strongly towards Gamora.
"I think about it often," Seyfried told ComicBook.com. "I'm not really a Marvel movie watcher, which is, I think, why I was just like, 'Ah, I don't wanna be green. It's just so much work.'

"I remember Jennifer Lawrence talking about it once, how long it took her to get blue. And I was like, 'That seems like hell on earth,' because then you get to set and you're only there for a couple hours, and then you have to take everything off. And that was literally the reason."
This isn't the first time that the actress has spoken about turning down a "big" superhero role, as she echoed comments made last year.
"I turned down one once and they haven't called me back," Seyfried admitted. "It was a big one. I don't regret it. That's the truth because I didn't want to be [painted] green for six months out of every year.
"Do you know what I mean? Beautiful, beautiful stories they tell through superheroes and my daughter is really obsessed with superheroes now. Part of me wishes I had done it, and part of me is like, 'I had a life to live!'"
Meanwhile, Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has admitted that the upcoming third movie will "probably" be the last one with the "current team".
