Zoe Saldaña says 'for the last 10 years of my life, I’ve been just stuck. I felt stuck doing these franchises...I felt artistically stuck in my craft of not being able to expand, grow or challenge myself by playing different sorts of genres and roles.'
.” Balancing three huge franchises has limited her opportunities to challenge herself as an actor, Saldaña said. Make no mistake, however, the actor is still grateful to be in these films.
Being able to expand her acting talents is “something that I wanted to do for a very long time,” Saldaña said. It’s something she’s doing more as of late thanks to projects like Netflix’s tear-jerker drama “From Scratch,” which was one of the streamer’s most popular original series this fall, and the upcoming “Lioness,” which hails from “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan and boasts Saldaña and Nicole Kidman as producers.
“After ‘Avatar,’ when you’re young and all of the time you have, the opportunity to travel and to go to lavish dinners and wear beautiful outfits and the nightlife became very attractive,” Saldaña said. “It was a lot of working hard and a lot of [playing] hard that sometimes got in the way of me feeling fully, fully proud of the work I was doing — because I did the work”
