Neytiri and Gamora made her famous — but the numbers behind Zoe Saldaña’s career are even crazier.

Neytiri and Gamora made her famous — but the numbers behind Zoe Saldaña’s career are even crazier.
She has been part of Avatar, Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy and Star Trek.
Four of her movies crossed $2 billion worldwide.

And after more than two decades in Hollywood, Saldaña reached a record that even many of cinema’s biggest male stars never held.
Zoe Saldaña talks about the surprising similarities and differences between her Guardians of the Galaxy character, Gamora, and her Avatar: The Way Of Water character, Neytiri. Family is at the heart of the Avatar and Guardians of the Galaxy franchises, with both Gamora and Neytiri facing hardships and war before creating their own families. While The Guardians of the Galaxy story is coming to a close with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Avatar is just beginning with the upcoming sequel Avatar: The Way Of Water.

In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Saldaña revealed how each of her leading characters, Gamora and Neytiri, feel about family. She shared that both have had very traumatic pasts, but they have been impacted differently as a result. Unlike Gamora, Neytiri is not a voice of reason. Instead, she describes the character as “an instinct.”
