She, nevertheless, was satisfied by the present Nebula to show in opposition to their father. After Thanos was snapped out of existence by Tony Stark, many questioned if Gamora additionally disappeared with him. The movie didn’t make it clear both method, however we did see Peter Quill, different Guardians and Thor heading out to seek for her aboard the Benetar.
