Zoe Saldaña “Star Trek 4” & “Avatar” Interview

Zoe Saldaña has revealed that she thinks Star Trek 4 needs to happen now, before everyone grows old from the story.

In an interview with Deadline about his recently Golden Globe-nominated film Emilia Perez, Saldaña spoke about the still-untitled Star Trek Beyond sequel: I think a lot of us have gray hairs in our heads, so if this is to be done again with the same cast, they need to do this quickly. ”

Star Trek 4 as we know it now has been a long time coming since Beyond was released in 2016. But Saldaña is hopeful that will happen, and that the relationship between her character Uhura and Spock will be explored further in the story. “It’s been a minute since I’ve been back in touch with Star Trek and the journeys of all its characters,” she said. And so is their working relationship. ”

Saldaña will next be seen in Avatar: Fire and Ash, the latest installment of the Avatar series, directed and co-written by James Cameron. Saldaña reprises her role as Neytiri and co-stars with Sam Worthington as Jake Sully, an ex-Marine who chooses to stay there when he invades an alternate world and falls in love.

Regarding what we can expect from his next film, director Saldaña said: So I believe that’s going to pay off big in the third Avatar movie. Jake and Neytiri are on this journey of acceptance, accepting who they are, who they are meant to be with each other, and how they move forward to keep their family safe. And I love the fact that there’s a beautiful love story at the heart of this whole story, and I love that Jim really wrote it for them. But it’s not easy. They can’t always see eye to eye, but I just hope they keep each other safe. That’s my hope for them. ”

In addition, Saldaña recently appeared in the second season of creator Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount+ hit series Special Ops: Lioness, starring as Joe, a CIA operative who recruits women as undercover spies. There is. Although a third season hasn’t been decided yet, Saldaña said she can imagine moves inspired by Sheridan’s other shows, adding, “It could run alongside other things, like Yellowstone’s 1923. He said he could imagine a kind of prequel plot with “subplots.”

Saldaña hopes that subplot will be the backstory of how her character, Joe, met his CIA boss, Caitlin (Nicole Kidman). “I wanted to see the beginnings of Caitlin Meade and Joe McNamara and how she was hired, because she’s so good. And Byron Westfield (Michael Kelly) told her to There’s a scene where he says, “I can’t be on the field anymore.” I can’t replace you. ‘And that was a really good scene. And I wondered how Caitlin found Joe, how Caitlin scouted Joe. That would be really interesting. ”
