Actress Zoe Saldana<\/strong> can add another color of the rainbow to her resume of on-screen characters.<\/p>\n

Having played a blue character in Avatar<\/em>, Saldana is set to portray the green-skinned alien Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em>, Gamora, a green-skinned humanoid assassin, is the last member of a species wiped out by the Badoon race.<\/p>\n

“Well, the rainbow has a lot of colors,” said Saldana. “I dig it. I like being in space. I get to play less girlfriends, more female parts, more women. So I find it meaty.<\/p>\n

“It’s a testament to how creative the people that conceive supernatural and science-fiction kind of stories,” said Saldana. “They’re able to build something out of nothing by just imagining it. I have a huge fascination with that. Filmmakers like J.J., like (Guardians<\/em> director) James<\/strong> (Gunn<\/strong>), like James Cameron<\/strong>. … You need to be really, really special to do that. So I like being with special people.”<\/p>\n

Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em>, currently filming, is due out next summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
