With Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" set to start filming next month in London, actress Zoe Saldana is anxiously waiting to find out just what her character will look like in the film.
"I'm curious," she admitted to USA Today. "That's what I want I start to check out, too: Am I going to wear leather? Is it going to be spandex? How's my hair going to look?"
These are all valid concerns for the actress, considering that her role as Gamora will prove to be an incredibly physical one. Gamora is known as the deadliest woman in the galaxy, and Saldana has expressed interest in doing pretty much every stunt that she physically can do. But for the majority of time that Gamora's existed in the comics, she's worn outfits that don't really adhere to the laws of physics. Gamora's going to need a costume overhaul similar to the one seen in the new "Guardians" comics (see above right) if she's going to work on the big screen.
The Battle For Quicksilver: 7 More Heroes With Complicated Film Rights

Fans have been waiting for something like the Battle for Quicksilver to happen, ever since it was made clear that the film rights for the X-Men, Fantastic Four and Spider-Man would not be returning to Marvel Studios anytime soon. Now it seems likely that two versions of the same superhero will be appearing in different franchises, with one or both films not able to fully depict the character as he is in the comics.
At this point it'd help to have a checklist of exactly which studios own what characters, because it's pretty confusing the way it stands right now. Fox owns the X-Men and Fantastic Four, but mutants can apparently appear in Marvel Studios films as long as they're not called mutants (and possibly not called by their code names). Sony owns Spider-Man, and he's not moving studios, not ever. That means we'll never see Norman Osborn clash with the Avengers in a Marvel Studios film. Galactus and Silver Surfer, two essential characters for Marvel Studios considering they're going cosmic, are owned by Fox as part of the Fantastic Four deal. But that ownership doesn't extend to the Inhumans, who are Fantastic Four characters that Marvel Studios is boldly talking about turning into a film.
It's all really confusing.
And as Marvel movies continue to make big bucks, more characters are going to get introduced. Here are seven more characters that could result in Quicksilver-level confusion, with assumed studio ownership marked throughout.
