Gamora does not die in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. In that movie, she survives; her major death happens later in Avengers: Infinity War , not in Vol. 2.

What happens in Vol. 2

  • Gamora spends most of the film dealing with her complicated relationship with Thanos and with Nebula.
  • She also grows closer to Peter Quill.
  • By the end of the movie, she is still alive and remains part of the team.

Why people get confused

  • James Gunn originally planned to kill Gamora in Vol. 2, but that idea was changed.
  • Her actual on-screen death comes later when Thanos sacrifices her on Vormir in Infinity War to get the Soul Stone.

If you want, I can also give you a quick spoiler-free recap of Gamora’s full MCU timeline.
