The Best Zoe Saldaña Movies and Shows

Published on

This guide will show you the best Zoe Saldaña movies and shows, and let you know where they’re all streaming online right now.

For over 20 years, Zoe Saldaña has been making waves in Hollywood. In fact, she holds the lofty record of being the first (and so far only) actor to star in four movies that have grossed more than $2 billion at the box office. From action hits to dance dramas, and even a campy classic with Britney Spears, Saldaña has had quite the career. Check out our guide below to discover some of her best roles in film and television, and find out where they’re streaming right now.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Saldaña has starred in not one, but three iconic franchises. One is Guardians of the Galaxy, where she plays Gamora, the trained assassin and somewhat adopted daughter/captive of Thanos. She reprised the role in all three movies, numerous Avengers films, and for various rides at Disney parks. 

Avatar

Another massive franchise for Saldaña is Avatar, where she plays Neytiri, the Na’vi daughter of her clan’s leader. She eventually falls in love with the human Jake Sully and the two begin a life together. Saldaña will continue reprising the role throughout the rest of the Avatar franchise. 

Star Trek

In 2009, Saldaña took on the iconic role of Nyota Uhura in the Star Trek reboot film series. So far she’s reprised the role for two sequels, and while rumors of a fourth film have been swirling since 2016, in 2024 Paramount finally announced that it had officially greenlit Star Trek 4.

Lioness

Since 2023, Saldaña has starred in the Paramount+ series Lioness (sometimes called Lioness: Special Ops). In the show, she stars as a secret CIA operative who controls a female spy team. Lioness has quite a few famous faces, including Nicole Kidman who stars as her boss, and Morgan Freeman who joined the show in its second season.

Crossroads

While it’s certainly not a good film in the traditional sense, Crossroads is downright iconic. The 2002 film starred Britney Spears and her two friends (one played by Saldaña) and focuses on their drama and joys and all the corny crap that made 2000s movies so sappy. But the cheesy story and bad acting have aged very well, turning movies like Crossroads into hilarious classics that are loads of fun to watch with a group of friends and a bottle of wine.

Center Stage

Another one of Saldaña’s iconic early roles is in the 2000 film Center Stage. The movie centers around the students of an elite ballet academy in Manhattan (based on the real-life School of American Ballet in Lincoln Center). Since its release the movie has been absolutely iconic for people in the dance and ballet community and is watched religiously by dance kids everywhere.

Emilia Pérez

Saldaña has been earning ample praise for the action musical Emilia Pérez, about a cartel boss who retires from the business and then has gender-affirming surgery. The film’s bombastic style and great music have turned it into a massive hit, earning it numerous awards, including a Golden Globe win for Saldaña.

From Scratch

Based on the 2019 memoir of the same name, Saldaña starred in the miniseries From Scratch, about an American girl who goes to Italy and falls in love with a chef. But when they return to America, her new boyfriend struggles to make a living. Luckily, they make it through and create a life together.
