5. Zoe Saldana - Nina
Without a doubt, Zoe Saldana's most famous roles have involved a tremendous amount of CGI and full body makeup. She was blue and cat-like as Neytiri in Avatar, and head to toe green as Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy. So it'll be nice to see her actually look like herself for a change. Well...in a manner of speaking. She's going to be starring in Nina, a biopic about the famously talented blues singer from the 1960s, Nina Simone. This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for her to try something totally different, and show exactly what she's capable of as an actor. If she can pull it off, Nina should be able to open new doors for her outside of the sci-fi/action world.
