This is not Jane Austen. I was an athlete my whole life, but to be able to challenged not only emotionally, but try to tackle a character which would also be challenged physically, I&#8217;m in my phase of action film exploitation.\u00a0 After <em>Avatar<\/em>, for two years of being harnessed and jumping off of wires I wanted to keep exploring that.<\/p>\n<p>Saldana hopes for more action scenes in the next <em>Star Trek<\/em> film. &#8220;<strong>J.J.<\/strong> [<strong>Abrams<\/strong>] promised me in the sequel she will have at least one little fight,&#8221; she said. &#8220;At least kick a guy in the groin or something.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Right now, Saldana, the other Trek actors and the producers are emailing back and forth with one another. &#8220;If you guys could really see, we all have each other on a massive E-mail group and all the producers and J.J. and just to read the back and forth between <strong>Karl Urban <\/strong>and<strong> Simon Pegg <\/strong>and<strong> Chris Pine <\/strong>and <strong>John Cho<\/strong>.
