In addition to Avatar and the Marvel universe, Zoe Saldana has starred in several successful films and series. But do you know in which film the actress actually made her debut?
She is one of the most popular actresses in pop culture and is even the only actress to have starred in the three biggest hits of all time. Zoe Saldana is in fact the only actress to have appeared in four films that have exceeded 2 billion in box office revenue, thanks to Avatar and the Marvel universe.
The one who is known thanks to her roles as Neytiri and Gamorra has of course distinguished herself in other films such as The Terminal by Steven Spielberg, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl by Gore Verbinski, the Star Trek trilogy by JJ Abrams and Justin Lin but also Blood Ties by Guillaume Canet.

But you may not know about Zoe Saldana’s early life. Indeed, after appearing in an episode of New York, Judicial Police and a few films, the actress obtained a role in a feature film awaited by fans of Britney Spears, since it marked her first foray into cinema.
Rediscover Zoe Saldana’s debut on Netflix
Rated 1.5 out of 5 by AlloCiné spectators (but 2.7 out of 5 by the press), this film was reviled by American critics when it was released in 2002. The presence of Britney Spears nevertheless attracted audience since it grossed more than $61 million at the box office.
When the stars of the song launch into the cinema, the result is not always there. And this is the case with this film written by Shonda Rhimes (the showrunner of Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and Murder!).
Titled Crossroads, it is Zoe Saldana’s first major film. She plays Kit, one of Lucy’s best childhood friends, played by Britney Spears. While growing apart during their teenage years, they reunite with their other friend Mimi (Taryn Manning), who is pregnant and in perpetual conflict with the others.
To celebrate the end of high school, they decide to go on a road trip to Los Angeles with the mysterious Ben (Anson Mount). This trip will allow them to rediscover the true values of friendship.
Unavailable in streaming until today, Crossroads is finally arriving on a platform. Good news for nostalgic fans of Britney Spears or for those who want to see Zoe Saldana’s debut, the film is available today on Netflix!
