Zoe Saldaña might be a self-described “late bloomer.” As an actor whose films have earned $15 billion, she’s hitting her stride at the age of 46. But she’s ready to kick that red-hot career up a notch by moving into directing — and an action film is perhaps most appealing.

Zoe Saldana, renowned for her roles in blockbuster hits, expresses her desire to direct an action-heist film, inspired by classics like 'Heat' and exploring themes of crime and heists.

In addition to sharing her directing ambitions, Zoe Saldana reveals why Avatar is special to her. From Avatar to Guardians of the Galaxy, Colombiana, and more, Zoe Saldana has starred in a lot of action movies in the last two decades. Now, Saldana wants to transition to directing by helming an action movie of her own.
