Zoe Saldaña on Wanting to Direct Her First Movie, ‘Avatar 3′ and Urging the Oscars to Award Motion Capture Acting: ‘It’s Like Theater’


Zoe Saldana talks about "Avatar 3," her "Emilia Perez" Oscar nominations, wanting to direct her first movie and more.

While Saldaña remains tight-lipped about major plot points (understandable, given Cameron’s secrecy), she emphasizes how much the story resonates with current global issues. Inspired by shows like “Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy” and the late Anthony Bourdain’s “Parts Unknown,” she dreams of creating a series that explores the culinary traditions of Latin America. While much of her awards season run has been defined by celebration, it has also been overshadowed by controversy surrounding her “Emilia Pérez” co-star Karla Sofía Gascón’s past social media posts.
