¡ZOE SALDANA (GAMORA) VS. LOS ACTORES QUE LLAMAN "VENDIDOS" A LOS COMPAÑEROS QUE TRABAJAN PARA MARVEL!

Sin pelos en la lengua, la actriz critica a los compañeros que siguen mirando por encima del hombro a los actores que se dedican a interpretar superhéroes, además de reflejar perfectamente la importancia de estos roles para las nuevas -y no tan nuevas, si están bien hechos- generaciones.

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.

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. 

I feel so proud to be living in space, to be playing green and blue 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’.
