Zoe Saldaña, the actress best known for her roles in the Avenger and Avatar franchises, has made big history by becoming the first actor to have four movies to gross over $2 billion box office.
Saldaña’s latest blockbuster hit, the Avatar: The Way of Water, has already grossed over $2 billion worldwide, joining her previous box office hits Avatar (2009), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: End Game in the exclusive $2 billion club.
Zoe Saldana as Neytiri in Avatar
This is a noteworthy achievement for Saldaña, who has carved out a fruitful career in Hollywood by taking on challenging and diverse roles. Her performances in the Avatar franchise, in which she plays the blue-skinned alien Neytiri, have been praised for their emotional depth and physicality.
Zoe Saldaña as Gamora in Avengers
Saldaña’s part in the Avengers franchise as Gamora, a gifted assassin and member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, also showcases her versatility as an actor. She brought a sense of humanity and vulnerability to the character, making her one of the most liked characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Saldaña’s achievements in Hollywood too serve as a reminder of the significance of representation in film. As one of the few Latinx actresses to attain such commercial success, Saldaña’s visibility in these blockbuster movies makes a difference to break down boundaries and open up opportunities for other actors from underrepresented communities.
Expect for Saldaña to accomplish more greatness with the Avatar and Avengers franchises respectfully as she is just heating up.
