Desde siempre, en Hollywood no está demasiado bien visto ser actor de película de superhéroes y Zoe Saldana, Gamora en los Guardians Of The Galaxy ha hablado para Net-A-Porter sobre este tema tan lleno de hipocresía.
“I’ve been in rooms with people in this industry who are great at what they do, but they’re absolutely elitist and they look down at movies like the Marvel films or actors like myself, they think we’re selling out in some way. Every time they speak I feel so disappointed in them, because whenever you see pictures of people in this industry who donate their time to children in need, it’s these actors that live in the world that you feel is selling out.”
Zoe Saldana apunta el hecho de que los actores saben que es un trabajo dirigido principalmente para un publico infantil y señala lo perjudicial que puede ser este desprecio.
“It’s these actors that understand the role that they play inspires a five-year-old who has one dying wish to meet a superhero. That actor takes time out of their life and sits down with that five-year-old and says, ‘I see you, I hear you, and you matter,’ Those elitists should be a little more cognizant about what playing a superhero means to a young child. Because you’re not just dissing me, you’re dissing what that child considers important in their world.”
De todas formas la actriz se siente muy orgullosa de los papeles que ha interpretado hasta ahora.
“I feel so proud to be living in space, to be playing aliens, to inspire, primarily, the younger generations. I remember what it was like to be young and to feel completely excluded out of the mainstream conversation of life because I was just little and unimportant and ‘other.’ I work with filmmakers who gravitated to this genre because they were exiles in their own right, excluded from a mainstream conversation," she said. "They found their world and they were able to imagine the unimaginable. Everything about how they create, and how they invite characters to join them, is absolutely inclusive.”
A Zoe Saldana se le podrá ver como Gamora en Avengers: Infinity War este próximo 27 de abril.
