The actress, who stars in next month's long-gestating 'Avatar: The Way of Water,' said that blockbuster tentpoles had limited her ability 'to expand or grow or challenge myself.'
Saldaña, who shares three children with her husband Marco Perego, pointed out that she has previously found herself wrestling with the pressure that Hollywood and society at large can put on women who have started a family and are in their 40s. However, she made it clear that she feels optimistic about what her career has in store as she moves forward.
“But today, now that I’m 44, I’ve been able to have these opportunities, and I took control over my aging and I took control over my voice and how I consider myself as a woman,” she continued. “And I’m so happy that I’m able to collaborate with filmmakers and producers and people in this industry that want that for women, that want women to be ageless and who don’t fetishize women’s youth. And so it’s interesting. It’s really interesting.
