I felt stuck doing these franchises,\u201d Salda\u00f1a mentioned. \u201cI\u2019m very grateful for the opportunities that they provided, from collaborating with amazing directors and getting to meet cast members that I consider friends and getting to play a role that fans, especially children, love. But it also meant that I felt artistically stuck in my craft of not being able to expand or grow or challenge myself by playing different sorts of genres and different roles. So this is something that I wanted to do for a very long time. And wrestling, too, with this pressure that society puts on women that your youth is gone as soon as you have children and you go into your 40s.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cBut today, now that I\u2019m 44, I\u2019ve been able to have these opportunities, and I took control over my aging and I took control over my voice and how I consider myself as a woman. And I\u2019m so happy that I\u2019m able to collaborate with filmmakers and producers and people in this industry that want that for women, that want women to be ageless and who don\u2019t fetishize women\u2019s youth. And so it\u2019s interesting. It\u2019s really interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Like it or not for Salda\u00f1a, her time in franchises doesn\u2019t appear to be coming to an finish within the foreseeable future. Paramount<\/strong> is deadset on making an attempt to get a brand new \u201cStar Trek\u201d movie made with all the trendy forged again. She\u2019s positively hooked up to a minimum of yet another Marvel mission, \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3<\/strong>,\u201d however with the MCU, it\u2019s exhausting to know if that will likely be a sendoff for her character or not. Then, let\u2019s not overlook \u201cAvatar,\u201d which has been taking a whole lot of her time over the previous a number of years and can proceed to take action, if her character sticks round and isn\u2019t killed off or something.\u00a0<\/p>\nBut even with that in her future, it\u2019s clear Salda\u00f1a is glad to step away from these large roles and settle into extra artistically difficult work sooner or later.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
