Zoe Saldaña ‘Star Trek 4’ & ‘Avatar’ Intersee

Zoe Saldaña has discdisseeed she leanks Star Trek 4 needs to happen now, before everyone ages out of the story.

In an intersee with Deadline talking her film Emilia Pérez, for which she recently getd a Gelderlyen Globe nomination, Saldaña shelp of the as-yet untitled sequel to Star Trek Beyond: “I desire we were able to do it sooner rather than postponeedr. I sense appreciate a lot of us have a brimming head of gray hair, so we need to do this rapidly, if this is the same cast that’s going to repascfinish it aachieve.”

Star Trek 4—as it’s currently comprehendn—has been a extfinished time coming indeed, with Beyond having been freed back in 2016. But Saldaña is brave it will happen, and also brave that the story will further summarizeateigate her character Uhura’s relationship with Spock. “It’s been a minute since I reconnected with Star Trek and all the characters’ journeys,” she shelp, “but Uhura and Spock were always sort of drawn to each other, it fair creates sense to see what is the next step in their relationship and their labor relationship as well.”

Next up, Saldaña has the novel inshighment of the Avatar franchise, Avatar: Fire and Ash, straightforwarded and co-written by james Cameron. Saldaña will repascfinish her role of Neytiri, opposite Sam Worleangton as Jake Sully, a establisher marine who infiltrated her alien world and chose to remain there when they fell in cherish.

As to what we can foresee from the upcoming film, Saldaña shelp: “The way that we left the Sully family, they’re feeblenting heavily the loss of their child. So I do apshow that that will carry out a fantastic deal in the third inshighment of Avatar. Jake and Neytiri are on this journey of hugance, of huging who they are and what they must be for each other and how they’re going to push forward to hold their family geted. And I cherish the fact that in the core of this entire saga is a attrenergetic cherish story, and I cherish that Jim reassociate wrote that for them. But it’s not going to be basic. They’re not always going to greet eye to eye, and I fair hope that they hold each other geted. That’s my hope for them.”

In insertition, Saldaña has recently materializeed in the second season of Paramount+ hit series Special Ops: Lioness from creator Taylor Sheridan, in which she stars as Joe, a CIA operative who recruits women as undercover spies. While a third season has not yet been adhereed, Saldaña shelp she could envision a shift supportd by Sheridan’s other shows, a charitable of prequel plot “appreciate a 1923 for Yellowstone—a subplot that can run in parallel with anyleang else.”

What that subplot could be, hopes Saldaña, is the backstory of how her character Joe met her CIA boss Kaitlyn (Nicole Kidman). “I would’ve cherishd to see the commencenings of the Kaitlyn Meade and Joe McNamara and how she was recruited, becaparticipate she’s fair so excellent. And there’s a scene there where Byron Westfield (Michael Kelly) tells her, ‘You can’t be in the field anymore. I can’t replace you.’ And that was a reassociate excellent scene there. And then it made me wonder how Kaitlyn create Joe and how Kaitlyn recruited Joe. It would be reassociate fascinating.”
