According to Marvel's MPower documentary, "rolling guide" James Gunn once chose to change the styling design of "Mantis Woman" before the "Silver Guard" series, and in the original design of Marvel's "Silver Guard" production team, the mantis woman was not the skin color we see today, but yellow skin.

This was shown in the pre-movie cast lens test that Pon Klementev showed at the time as yellow skin, of course, according to Andy Park, director of visual development at Marvel Studios, Mantis Woman also has green skin, as she later did in comic books, when yellow skin was not the only color system.

At the same time, Park also explained that eventually James Gunn "decided to simplify" the appearance of the praying mantis woman:
"This close-up is almost exactly what the praying mantis woman looked like... But like Camora, James Gunn decided to simplify their appearance, and as much as I would love to see Gamora's and Mantis in these ways, I think he (Rolling Guide) made the right decision in the end. ”

Later, for the appearance design of the mantis woman, in fact, some fans asked "Rolling Guide" their own questions, asking James Gunn why he was not the kind of green in the original comics, and the Rolling Guide at that time responded to this
"Because I like her original look in the comics, that's not green!"

Combined with the previous statement of the Marvel visual development director, when Rolling Guide and others chose to use yellow to test the lens in the early days, it may have been precisely considering that there was already a green Gamora, so the choice to use yellow skin color as the design of the praying mantis woman at that time was also considered.
However, in the end, the roller chose a skin color that was closer to mixed race (the mantis woman in the original book has Vietnamese and German ancestry), which led to the shape design of the praying mantis woman we see in the movie we are in today.

It is worth mentioning:
The mantis woman we see in the movie today is very different from some settings of the original comics, and many of the plot lines and emotional lines of the mantis female characters in the original works have been deleted and adapted to varying degrees.
Typical ones are --
[1] Born on Earth;
In the movie universe, the mantis woman is one of Iago's children, but compared to the other children, Igo eventually killed as a battery, leaving a praying mantis woman with a hypnotic effect to help him sleep well at night.

But in the original work, the mantis girl set was born in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and is itself a mixed Vietnamese and German, but she was raised by a high-ranking monk of the Kree Empire who lived in seclusion on the earth and taught her fighting skills!
[2] The emotional line is more chaotic;
Compared with the mantis woman's emotional line in today's movies, it is actually able to form a CP with it, and now in addition to the star lord of the love group, the rest is the destroyer Drax, who is suspected of having feelings, and the personality of the entire character is also silly and cute, in our words, it properly belongs to the role that is sold and may help count money.

But in fact, in the original manga, the mantis woman was once considered the "Virgin of the Celestial Race" and will have "in-depth communication" with the oldest member of the plant race Cotati on Earth.
In addition, the enlightenment teacher "Swordsman" of Hawkeye in the original work also loved the mantis woman deeply, but later the mantis woman had a good impression of Vision, and the terrible thing is that Vision had come together with the Scarlet Witch at that time, so the unrequited love of the mantis woman has never been shown.

It wasn't until later in the comics that the swordsman sacrificed his life for the mantis woman, which made the mantis girl realize the swordsman's love for herself, and finally cut off her love for Vision!
And for actor Pon Klementev:
Pang Klementev, who plays the mantis woman, is also a mixed race, with 3 mixed blood, her father is French + Russian, and her mother is Korean, in the original movie audition "Mantis Woman Empathy Destroyer Loses Family" scene, Pang Klementev relied on not relying on special effects tears, but can instantly perform tearful empathy shots, directly moved director James Gunn, and directly decided on the candidate, which made Pang Klementev inform him on the second day of the audition that he got the role of "Mantis Woman".
