When you think of all of the huge movie stars like The Rock, Mark Wahlberg, Vin Diesel, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, and Shia LaBeouf, you would think that one of them would be the first one to star in four of the films that grossed over $2 billion. And you would be wrong.
That title goes to little Zoe Saldana, who stars in 4 of the only 6 films that have made that much money. They are Avatar which made $2.92 billion in 2009, followed by The Avengers: Endgame with $2.97 billion in 2019, Avengers: Infinity War which earned $2.04 billion the year before that, and finally, last year’s Avatar: The Way Of Water which has already made $2,026,675,670 and counting.
Not bad for a Puerto Rican/Dominican girl from NYC who probably weighs around 100 pounds.
And how does she feel about the honor? She wrote, “Wow! What can I say about today? It has been a rollercoaster of emotions for sure. Gratitude for the acknowledgment, and absolute exhilaration that I get to wake up every morning and go do what I love. Never in a million years did I ever aim to make history by being in these movies. I’ve always been lucky to have been chosen and asked to join these amazing, groundbreaking projects.
“Thank you to @jamescameronofficial @jamesgunn and @therussobrothers for trusting me with their vision.
“Thank YOU to all our fans for making these movies what they are today- history in the making!❤️”
I have been following her career since she made a little film called Center Stage. And now she is taking center stage in the biggest movies ever made.
Congrats! I can’t wait to see what blockbusters she does next!
