This intense actor has starred in 3 of the biggest hits of all time: When will we see him in the movies again?

Columbia opens in French cinemas on July 27, 2021. Headlining the muscular thriller that TFX is releasing this Sunday, June 9, Zoe Saldana isn’t yet one of the stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe when she shines in front of Olivier Megaton’s camera. But he is already a star with some success at the box office.

Director JJ Abrams’ Star Trek reboot, in which she plays Uhura, managed to appeal to viewers who were not fans of the franchise before. And James Cameron’s Avatar is at the top of the list of the biggest hits of all time… even if, unlike her co-star Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana doesn’t appear there openly, the appearance of Neytiri’s character is just a performance.

Thirteen years later, the situation has not changed. Or better yet: Zoe Saldana is still the most successful actress in movie history. And the next two, as she also stars in Avengers Endgame (under Gamora’s green makeup) and Avatar The Way of Water. The feat is the only one he has achieved to date and he will be able to make it four in a row with the next installment in the James Cameron saga in December 2025.

But you won’t have to wait that long to see it in theaters again. If the Absence of Eden, which was released across the Atlantic in April, does not yet have a date in France, the actor will return here on August 21 with Emilia Perez. The winner of the collective award for actress, which was presented to four actresses in the new film by Jacques Audiard at the end of the last Cannes Film Festival.

Which some people didn’t necessarily understand well, as the focus was mainly on Carla Sofia Gascon, the only cast member present at the awards who later filed a lawsuit against Marion Marshall for transphobic comments made against her.

Never nominated for an Oscar, BAFTA or other Golden Globe, Zoe Saldana also won this award. The most important in his career to date. For his fiery performance in this Spanish-language musical drama, in which he plays a big-firm lawyer more bent on letting criminals go than justice. And she finds a way out when she helps a cartel boss get out of business and become the woman she always wanted to be.

A surprising and daring film where Jacques Audiard reminds us, despite some criminal elements, that he is not only a writer of detective films. Presented in competition at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, Emilia Perez caused a stir among fans in the south of France who found out as soon as the official screening ended.

President Greta Gerwig’s team was sensitive to this, because in the absence of the Palme d’Or that some had promised, they presented two awards: the Jury Prize and the Female Actress Prize, which went to Carla Sofia Gascon, Selena Gomez, Adriana. Paz and therefore Zoe Saldana. Who gives us one of the most striking performances of his career, especially during a particularly intense music scene, the tune of which previews the teaser.

He has the opportunity to show another side of his talent and add another line to his list of achievements. Where it’s billions of dollars less than peer recognition. And you can discover it in our cinemas from August 21. Are you looking forward to seeing him in other French films and/or Greta Gerwig’s next performance?
