Now that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has arrived, let's look at five of the best Zoe Saldaña action movies.
Zoe Saldaña was the perfect choice to play a modern version of Nyota Uhura, originally played by Nichelle Nichols in the 1966 Star Trek series. All three of the modernfilms leaned more towards the action genre than most previous interpretations. This allowed Saldaña to show off her chops as this new, re-imagined iteration of Uhura.
The actress mixes the perfect amount of confidence with vulnerability, which contrasts well with her emotionally absent love interest, Spock. She excels throughout the movie, whether she deciphers distress calls or brings some much-needed maturity to the bridge. Saldaña stuck with the role for the two sequels – Star Trek: Into Darkness and Star Trek Beyond.Known in the Marvel comics as “the deadliest woman in the galaxy,” the character of Gamora couldn’t have been played by just anybody.
Though Saldaña is excellent in all three Guardians of the Galaxy movies, the second one is where the character is at her apex. From her relationship with Nebula to her complicated feelings for with Star-Lord, Gamora gets to shine with the entire cast of the sequel.sequel focused heavily on Gamora’s “adoptive father,” the Mad Titan Thanos. This allows for plenty of brilliant Gamora moments, as she grapples with the villain and revisits the trauma he inflicted on her and Nebula.
While Gamora dies in this movie, the performance that leads up to that moment is amazing. The sacrifice scene is gutting and leaves viewers with a pit in their stomach, which can be chalked up to Saldaña’s emotive delivery. Plus, fans get a different Gamora in Avengers: Endgame when the other timeline’s version of the character crosses over. This allowed for more development in both Endgame and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
Neytiri goes through a lot in Avatar: The Way of Water, so committed acting was required to sell viewers on the heavy emotional stakes of the sequel. Saldaña pulled it off in spades, as she fluctuated between deeply loving mother and unstoppable warrior. There’s a scene near the end during the battle with Quaritch that is especially poignant, which fully displays Saldaña’s range.
