If you go over the list of highest-grossing franchises, you are sure to find Star Trek, Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Avatar in them. It could only be an actress of a caliber like Saldana, who could be fortunate enough to have strong parts in all these franchises. All these parts have made her one of the most bankable stars of this era. A lot of this success could be attributed to the exoticness she brings to the table with her acting. Well, this exoticness certainly has a magic about it, as she is currently the second highest-grossing movie actress of all time. Even though her caliber is well seen in her filmography, this age, and era, you cannot possibly play all the characters you desire or want.
People of color are increasingly getting frustrated with not getting roles made for them, and when they are more often than not, a light-skinned actor is preferred. Nina Simone was one of the most groundbreaking personalities to grace the earth, so obviously, her biopic piqued a lot of interest. Still, all of this interest turned to backlash when Saldana, a lighter-skinned person of color, got cast as the titular character.
