We, as a general audience, think so much of her as Gamora and Neytiri that we keep forgetting Zoe has been a star for more than 20 years. She's an amazing artist and it's so cool to see her make this trip down memory lane.
It's one of those fun facts that she was the highest paid actor on GotG v1 Dave Batista, Lee Pace, Karen Gillen and Chris Pratt were mostly known from tv and Marvel insisted that James Gunn at least find a movie star for Gamora. At the time Zoe Saldana was coming off of Star Trek and Avatar, so if you want to give your weird Sci-Fi project credibility, she was probably the most desirable option they could hope for.
That's how every marve sheepl fan thinks like though 😂 They basically can't comprehend that all these mcu actors have been in other movies in the past.
There doesn’t seem to be a lot of early competition this year. Zoe seems to be one of the only ones that are on people’s radars right now. So she has a good chance of at least getting a nomination for the time being.
She's one of the most elegant and gracious actress in the industry. She's been in some of the most well-known cult contemporary movies and yet she's humble, curious and down to earth.
This interview is so good. I came here from the Gamora Tiktok clip and it did not disappoint. I feel like much of this is her speaking on stuff I’ve never heard her talk about before.
Zoe is a beautiful woman and a wonderful artist! Wish to see more and more of her.. I saw her miniseries 'From Scratch' on Netflix and it is not for the faint of heart.. what an amazing actress! Love her..she is crush ❤
I’ve loved Zoe Saldana since Avatar and Guardians of the Galaxy. Both two iconics,and Star Trek movies that she was in were good two. I’m excited for Avatar 3-Fire And Ash next year. 💙💚
Since she mentioned that she wants another brown/ Latina Actress playing Gamora, then I say let’s cast Ariana Greenblatt as the new Gamora 💚. Not to mention she even played the younger version in Avengers: Infinity Wars (2018), and even said so on her February 2022 Instagram live when someone asked her if she would be back as Gamora, she said that it’d be dope 👍🏽 I also think that Jenna Ortega would make a great role as Nebula (wearing a bald cap) I DO however wish & hope that Zoe will come back to play Gamora again in the future if she’s interested. She will always be our Gamora.
I will miss her as Gamora 💚, but to us, at least to me, she will always be our Gamora. At least she’ll continue playing Neytiri in the Avatar installments! Can’t wait for Emilia Perez!
She’s the only actor to be in 3/5 of the top movies of all time. It angers me how little recognition she gets. She’s phenomenal! Guardians, StarTreck, Avatar,Avengers , COME ON
I gotta say: I'm a big fan of Zoe Saldana. I was sold on her in GotG, and I have to admit- there have been many movies she was in that I didn't realize she was in but I know the character. She should be another example to these new actors that think they deserve to be actors or even famous. She is an incredible character actor (which is rare for women) and she does great work. I've never felt her performance should have been left out of a movie. Another actor that does the work and proves they deserve to be there by doing so.
Zoe is awesome! I have worked in about 70 productions (never had the pleasure of working with her yet), She is perfect casting in so many. I look forward to seeing her new projects. I worked as an Enterprise crew member in the original STAR TREK movie with the original cast, not the new ones, and I know Nichelle loved her portrayal of Lt. Uhura! Keep up the great work! 🤠🐴🐎🌞🎬🎥🖖💙
I’ve said this on TH-cam before but Zoe has always been one of my favorite actresses. I feel like her talent has always been underrated, even tho/maybe because of her commercial success. She has always been incredibly versatile and even IN those major films she’s excellent. The emotional/physical/vocal work she does as Ney’tiri is underappreciated/misunderstood. I just love her LOL
I wish they had a line quote from Center Stage when she was a ballerina. That was the very first movie I noticed her from. She's an amazing actress. I love her.
So refreshing to see an A lister have positive experiences about all her past projects and the people she worked with. No wonder every director wants to work with her being so talented but easy to make magic out of nothing seamlessly.
What I realize is this: Basically out of all her popular movies (and Variety did a good enough job with that) the only movie where Zoe Saldana is starring in as the lead is "Colombiana (2011)"! All other examples are either co-lead (with Sam Worthington) or supporting part. Now, Colombiana (2011) happens to be my favorite movie of 2011. But the movie itself is very much of its time, granted you can say that about other movies on here too.
I’ve loved Zoe since I first saw her in Star Trek when I was 13 years old and I loved her even more in when I first saw Avatar a few months later in 2009.
*Z0e Saldaña: ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Set Was a Bad Experience* “It was my first exposure to a major H0llyw00d mega movie, where there were just so many actors and so many producers and so many crew members.” “We were shooting in different locations, and the environments were not that agreeable, sometimes, to our shoot days. I was very young, and it was just a little too big for me, and the pace of it was a little too fast.” “I walked away not really having a good experience from it overall. I felt like I was lost in the trenches of it a great deal, and I just didn’t feel like that was okay.” “Years later, I was able to meet with Jerry Bruckheimer, who apologized that I had that experience cause he really wants everyone to have a good experience on his projects” *For this reason, Saldaña would decide not to return to the pirates of the caribbean saga never.*
Okay. Some people in this comments are taking this very wrong. What Zoe meant was she wanted a new brown/ Latina actress in a green makeup 💚 to be the next new Gamora if Marvel Studios & Walt Disney Studios are planning on doing a Gamora spin-off. And I think it really should be Ariana Greenblatt (who previously played Baby Gamora in Avengers: Infinity Wars). But I DO wish & hope that Zoe will be back as Gamora in the MCU though. If she’s interested.
She doesn't miss haven't seen her in a bad film yet. And if you haven't checked out lioness season 1 and 2 do your self a favor and check it out you won't be disappointed she inocks it out the park the whole cast does
She already is an all time great, though. -Only actor to be in 4 $2 billion + films (will most likely hit 2 more with Avatar sequels) -4th highest grossing actor of all time -2nd highest grossing female actor of all time -has been in more major franchises than anyone cept for Sam Jackson -has an aspect of her career that is sorta the female Andy Serkis -is possibly THE GOAT female action star (and I know people never give her that, but honestly, what woman has been an action hero in more action films than her?) -sci fi queen -can do drama -can do comedy -does all of this while having a family and raising multiple kids -is a total babe
Well, not ONLY!! I loved that star trek!! They really did do an amazing job!! The losers is one of my favorites too!! Ill make your heart stop beating with my mind!!😂😂🤘🤘
Zoe Saldana is such an inspirational, passionate, fun-loving, expressive, youthful and wonderful actress. I remember Zoe in her breakout role Drumline. Still waiting for that Columbiana 2. I say, if you want to be the smartest person in the room surround yourself around dumb people. 😂I think we've been living in the life of movie sequels for over 20 years. I hope Misses Saldana continues to have great success in her movie career.

Yeah i am def not apart of that general audience. BEEN a fan!
That's how every marve sheepl fan thinks like though 😂

@@maxx6526 Not like you.
You're a real film enthusiast 😪
Get a life.
she's so soft spoken!
Never expected that when characters like Gamora and Neytiri are so fierce! Wow
Zoe's honesty about her experiences in these iconic roles is so refreshing!
Her laugh is so mischievous. I love it. She has such a graceful aura about her and her voice completes that gracefulness she embodies.
She’s the next oscar winner for supporting actress
i really hope so
Yassss queen
I totally agree. Next year is her year.
There doesn’t seem to be a lot of early competition this year. Zoe seems to be one of the only ones that are on people’s radars right now. So she has a good chance of at least getting a nomination for the time being.
She's one of the most elegant and gracious actress in the industry. She's been in some of the most well-known cult contemporary movies and yet she's humble, curious and down to earth.
Columbianaaaaa will always be top tier !!!
It’s Colombiana* . Colombia is the country. Columbia is in the US.
@ okay grammar police lol thank you
That's my favorite movie of her she definitely did her big one on that!
@@thankmelater90210 she definitely did
This interview is so good. I came here from the Gamora Tiktok clip and it did not disappoint. I feel like much of this is her speaking on stuff I’ve never heard her talk about before.
Zoe is a beautiful woman and a wonderful artist!
Wish to see more and more of her.. I saw her miniseries 'From Scratch' on Netflix and it is not for the faint of heart.. what an amazing actress! Love her..she is crush ❤
Not including center stage is wild!
A hate crime, in fact!!!!
Super wild!!!!
I only clicked on this video for a center stage line 😢
I was hoping for "Jesus, she heard you! We all heard you, you don't have to speak to her like that. Anybody can see that she's working her ass off!"
Super wild
Zoe only ever has kind, loving words to say about Britney. I love that, and them.
Yes! She's always so gentle when talking about Britney, it makes me want to hug her.
I'm glad she brought up Terminal.. That movie is such a hidden gem and her role in it, although small, was very memorable and likable. Love this woman
I’ve loved Zoe Saldana since Avatar and Guardians of the Galaxy. Both two iconics,and Star Trek movies that she was in were good two. I’m excited for Avatar 3-Fire And Ash next year. 💙💚

They should 100% make a sequel to Columbia! Fucking movie is great
I had forgotten how many movies she’s been in and this was a great reminder. She is so talented and versatile in choosing her roles!
If you haven’t seen her recent tv series, Special Ops: Lioness, it’s amazing! I’d def recommend watching
She is such a talent for the film industry, yet still underacknowledged as a performer imo. Give her her flowers 💐
I will miss her as Gamora 💚, but to us, at least to me, she will always be our Gamora.
At least she’ll continue playing Neytiri in the Avatar installments!
Can’t wait for Emilia Perez!
She's just different and amazing 🥺
She’s the only actor to be in 3/5 of the top movies of all time. It angers me how little recognition she gets. She’s phenomenal! Guardians, StarTreck, Avatar,Avengers , COME ON

OMG her laugh gives me life. She has such a sweet voice and then her laugh is low and husky.
Best line: "This is our home!!" ..On how she speaks it so like only she could say it
Zoe is such an amazing actress! ❤️
I never knew she was this soft spoken though
I wish they would have mentioned Drumline or Center Stage
I've met her and worked on her film 'The Absence of Eden'. She's very sweet and kind
Zoe is awesome! I have worked in about 70 productions (never had the pleasure of working with her yet), She is perfect casting in so many. I look forward to seeing her new projects. I worked as an Enterprise crew member in the original STAR TREK movie with the original cast, not the new ones, and I know Nichelle loved her portrayal of Lt. Uhura! Keep up the great work! 🤠🐴🐎🌞🎬🎥🖖💙
Zoe is just the sweetest nicest woman. She speaks so calmly it’s euphoric.😍🙌🏾truly beautiful inside and out.

Star Trek and Guardians of the Galaxy and Pirates of the Caribbean are my favourite movies of hers

I was waiting for Drumline! Oh well.
‼️
I was waiting for Center Stage the whole time.... I love Zoe, she is a great actress, very passionate and real.
Gamora and Anamaria are my two favorite roles she played.
4:35 superheroes are HUMANS most times. But Humans with human issues that’s what makes them relatable, likable. That’s what makes the movies so good
“But Southern sisters, we don’t casually date, we have boyfriends.”
-Zoe Saldana (Drumline)
I’m just tripping of the fact that Zoe Saldaña is the top 3 highest grossing films of all time!!!
What I realize is this: Basically out of all her popular movies (and Variety did a good enough job with that) the only movie where Zoe Saldana is starring in as the lead is "Colombiana (2011)"! All other examples are either co-lead (with Sam Worthington) or supporting part. Now, Colombiana (2011) happens to be my favorite movie of 2011. But the movie itself is very much of its time, granted you can say that about other movies on here too.
Zoe Saldana the G.O.A.T
She has one of the most impressive resume’s in Hollywood. The amount of huge pop-culture film events she’s been a part of is insane.
loved her since centre 😁stage
She was magnificent in Emilia Perez
I’ve loved Zoe since I first saw her in Star Trek when I was 13 years old and I loved her even more in when I first saw Avatar a few months later in 2009.
She has such an amazing range

I didn't realize how many franchises she's been a part of
she really is a good actress because she's so different in real life, from her voice to her energy
Boo, no lines from "Drumline."
I was looking for a Center Stage reference. She was my favorite character in that movie.
She’s my favourite actress ❤

Zoe this oscar is already yours
Petition for a sequel to Crossroads!
After seeing this...Zoe Saldana has one impressive movie resume! Wow!
she's been in so many iconic movies. avatar, guardians, pirates, terminal, star trek
I Kill Giants is the first movie where I just fell in love with Zoe and admire Her work
Never heard of the Losers, what a cast!
DRUMLINE!! Hello!!! “Southern Sisters Don’t Date, We Have Boyfriends” would have been perfect! 🤷♂️
Hearing Zoe drop into the Na'vi accent is so rewarding.
She doesn't miss haven't seen her in a bad film yet. And if you haven't checked out lioness season 1 and 2 do your self a favor and check it out you won't be disappointed she inocks it out the park the whole cast does
I remember her first film I saw at least was drumline
The movie about Emilia Perez looks like it’s gonna be 🔥
“Careful with that one. You break it, you bought it!”
Forever Eva Rodriguez in my eyes haha
Zoe is so talented 🩷
Colombiana was a great movie.
ZOE ALWAYS SERVING ADMIRABLE LOOKS AND AN IMMENSE ACTOR.💗 HOPE SHE WINS AN ACADEMY AWARD AND BECOMES AN ALL TIME GREAT!
She already is an all time great, though.

@@jasonibanez9855 OSCAR CEMENTS IT CASUAL
@@jasonibanez9855 I READ ALL THAT HOWEVER OSCAR IS REQUIRED KID
She’ll always be Colombiana to me.
Nothing from “Drumline”??
She is gets even more beautiful and beautiful every year. LOL, like I have a chance.
Zoe is magic
Well, not ONLY!! I loved that star trek!! They really did do an amazing job!! The losers is one of my favorites too!! Ill make your heart stop beating with my mind!!😂😂🤘🤘
Zoe must be protected at all costs❤️
You can see by the way Zoe talks about her experiences that she takes her characters very seriously and wants to do better.
The only time I found out about her was when she played Gamora on Guardians of the Galaxy, so, now, whenever I see her, I go, “It’s Gamora.”
She is so beautiful ❤
My favorite line of her’s is: “I’m surrounded by the biggest idiots in the galaxy”.
My introduction to Zoe Saldana was center stage
Zoe Saldana is such an inspirational, passionate, fun-loving, expressive, youthful and wonderful actress. I remember Zoe in her breakout role Drumline. Still waiting for that Columbiana 2. I say, if you want to be the smartest person in the room surround yourself around dumb people. 😂I think we've been living in the life of movie sequels for over 20 years. I hope Misses Saldana continues to have great success in her movie career.
I grew up watching this amazing woman
Love her!!!!
Nothing from Guess Who😮
Center stage was not included
No Guess Who line. I was robbed.
i LOVE her
I always confuse her with Jada pinkett
I love you Zoe ❤
Center Stage and Crossroads, were my gateways to Zoe
What would be your reaction if she won an Oscar?
WE GOT ROBBED!! YOU GUYS DIDN’T GIVE ZOE A QUOTE FROM BOOK OF LIFE!!!
I’m sorry, but didn’t she say back in the day that she almost quit acting because of her treatment on Pirates of the Caribbean?
Why did they skip the line for the last movie?
There’s no way this is her real voice.
She's a triple threat.. I don't think a lot of people know that..
FINALLY SOME ZOE CONTENT
WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW ZOE????? IM NOT READING AS MUCH AS I USUALLY DO. COULD YOU POSSIBLY RECOMMEND ME A GOOD BOOK TO READ??
9:51 this made me laugh
*Z0e Saldaña: ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Set Was a Bad Experience*
Oh, how I missed Center Stage in this 😍
