After a tumultuous start to 2025, Zoe Saldaña has re-emerged from the controversy surrounding her Oscar-nominated film, Emilia Pérez. This film has notably divided audiences and critics alike. However, Saldaña’s filmography includes the 2011 revenge thriller, Colombiana, which faced criticism but gained a strong fan base.

Film Synopsis
Colombiana tells the gripping story of Cataleya, a young woman seeking revenge for her parents’ murder. The narrative unfolds as follows:
- In 1992 Bogotá, young Cataleya witnesses her parents’ brutal murder at the hands of crime lord Don Luis and henchman Marco.
- Fifteen years later, Cataleya becomes a contract killer under her uncle’s guidance in Chicago.
- She leaves a symbolic lipstick drawing of a Colombian orchid on each victim, all while plotting her revenge.
Upcoming Projects for Saldaña
With Colombiana generating renewed interest, Saldaña is poised for future success. She stars in the anticipated blockbuster Avatar: Fire and Ash. Set to release this year, the film aims to surpass the billion-dollar mark at the box office.
Avatar: Fire and Ash continues the story of Jake Sully, played by Sam Worthington, and focuses on the challenges faced by his family against the Ash People. Director James Cameron promises an emotionally challenging narrative that builds on the characters’ journeys.
