Zoe Saldaña: MCU Didn’t Think I Would ‘Be Discreet’ with ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Scripts
“I really enjoy working with filmmakers that don’t underestimate my intelligence and know that I am an adult,” Saldaña said.
“I really enjoy working with filmmakers that don’t underestimate my intelligence and know that I am an adult,” Saldaña said.
“I felt artistically stuck in my craft of not being able to expand or grow or challenge myself,” the “Guardians of the Galaxy” star said.
“I miss Gamora, but I don’t miss 3:30 a.m. calls and five-hour makeup sessions and trips to the dermatologist afterwards,” Saldaña said of her Marvel character.
Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, and Sigourney Weaver return to the fictional planet Pandora for another “Avatar” installment, in theaters December 16.
“I knew I had big shoes to fill when I was chosen to play Uhura,” Saldaña penned in a tribute to the late actress. “She helped so many others prosper too.”
But not so fast: The first trailer for the film will only be available exclusively in theaters ahead of “Doctor Strange 2” screenings, Cameron confirmed.
“Their intention was never for me to stop being who I was. They celebrated who I was.”
At the time of the film’s release, Simone’s estate called Saldana’s casting “gut-wrenching, heartbreaking, nauseating, soul-crushing.”
Motion capture on the first two sequels has been completed, and the live-action scenes are nearly finished as well.
The actress is hoping the next “Guardians” film will let Gamora show off why she’s the most “lethal woman in the galaxy.”
“I’m proud of him,” the actress said. “The message of redemption is important.”
The cast writes they have been “discouraged by those so easily duped into believing the many outlandish conspiracy theories” about Gunn.
