In addition to sharing her directing ambitions, Zoe Saldana reveals why Avatar is special to her.
Now, Saldana wants to transition to directing by helming an action movie of her own.
“I like The Equalizer.
I watch crime shows, and, so, maybe in the future.
I’ve always been drawn to heist themes.
So, I would love to start with an action-heist sort of thing.”
It may take some time before Saldana’s ambitions become a reality.
“We’re not lending our voices.
We’re not doing any of that.
In 2009, Jim, as usual, was ahead of his time.
He’s a scientist at heart, so he’s creating things that people need time to understand.
He helped me realize that I should be okay with that.
And at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if people will get it.
Avatar will live forever, and it will inspire people for generations to come.
So that’s his legacy, and I’m a part of that.”
Avatar: Fire & Ash will be released on December 19, 2025.
