Zoe Saldaña has become a prominent figure in various movie franchises such as Avatar sequels, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Star Trek. Despite her busy schedule, Saldaña still has three more Avatar movies in the pipeline and plans for Star Trek 4 with the cast of the 2009 reboot films have recently been revitalized. However, it seems that Saldaña is ready to bid farewell to her role as Gamora after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. She expressed her sentiments in an upcoming episode of The Playlist’s Discourse podcast, mentioning that while she may be done with the character, she believes that Gamora still has a future within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Saldaña emphasized the importance of the Guardians of the Galaxy group, describing them as fan-favorites and praising James Gunn’s unique writing style for the genre. Despite her personal stance on playing Gamora again, she remains hopeful for the return of the beloved group.
In addition to her role in the Guardians of the Galaxy series, Saldaña has also portrayed Nyota Uhura in the Star Trek franchise. Although her last appearance was in Star Trek Beyond in 2016, Saldaña expresses her enthusiasm for a potential return to the Star Trek universe. The initial plans for Star Trek 4, which would have involved a time travel adventure with Chris Hemsworth’s George Kirk and Chris Pine’s Captain James T. Kirk, fell through before production began. However, with Toby Haynes set to direct a new sequel based on a different script, Saldaña sees this as a chance for closure for herself and the rest of the reboot cast. Despite the uncertainty surrounding her return, Saldaña remains optimistic about the longevity of the Star Trek franchise and hopes to be involved in future projects.
As of now, Star Trek 4 does not have a release date, leaving fans in suspense about the direction of the franchise. Similarly, the status of another potential Guardians of the Galaxy adventure is up in the air following James Gunn’s involvement with DC Studios. Nevertheless, the post-credits scene in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 hinted at the return of Star Lord (Chris Pratt), suggesting that there may be more stories to come in the Guardians universe. Despite the uncertainties surrounding these franchises, fans can expect more exciting developments in the future, with or without the involvement of Zoe Saldaña.
Zoe Saldaña’s future in the movie franchise world remains both promising and uncertain. While she may be moving on from her iconic roles as Gamora and Nyota Uhura, Saldaña’s impact on these beloved characters will not be forgotten. Fans eagerly anticipate what the future holds for both the Guardians of the Galaxy and Star Trek franchises, with or without Saldaña’s continued involvement. As she navigates her diverse career in Hollywood, Saldaña’s versatility and talent are sure to shine in any project she undertakes, ensuring her status as a versatile and respected actress in the industry.
