Zoe Saldaña Becomes First Actress with 4 Movies Over $2 Billion.

Saldaña, 44, became the first actor to have four movies gross over $2 billion with The Way of Water.

2009's Avatar, 2019's Avengers: Endgame, and 2018's Avengers: Infinity War are her other three milestone titles.

James Cameron, director of Titanic and Avatar: The Way of Water, is the first director to have three films over $2 billion.

Saldaña plays Neytiri in Avatar and Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.

The actress told Women's Wear Daily last year that she sometimes felt "Stuck" doing franchise films.

"From collaborating with amazing directors and meeting cast members I consider friends to playing a role that fans, especially children, love, I'm grateful for the opportunities they provided."

After starting my family, it was difficult to balance both worlds and satisfy my curiosity about playing other characters or earthlings. I enjoy space.
