For the next twenty years, she served Thanos as a cybernetically enhanced warrior until betraying him to join the Guardians.

When the Avengers use time travel in an effort to undo Thanos' actions, an alternate 2014-Gamora accompanies 2014-Thanos to confront the Avengers in 2023 after he hijacks their technology. However, she switches sides and joins the fight against her father. She joins the Ravagers and allies with the Guardians of the Galaxy in their fight against the High Evolutionary.

As of 2023, Gamora has appeared in five films in the MCU. The character and Saldaña's portrayal have been met with positive reception. Alternate versions of Gamora from within the MCU multiverse appear in Avengers: Endgame (2019), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023), and in the animated series What If...? (2021). One version, voiced by Cynthia McWilliams, usurped Thanos's warlord position and is recruited into the Guardians of the Multiverse by the Watcher to help defeat an alternate version of Ultron.
