Following that, Saldana subsequently acted in several films that raised her profile considerably, Crossroads opposite Britney Spears and most especially Drumline opposite Nick Cannon. The latter made $60 million at the domestic box office, according to boxofficemojo.com, and showed she had the acting chops to move into even higher profile studio projects.
In seeming quick succession, Saldana starred in a series of the biggest movie projects of the modern era, including Star Trek and Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl. Her performance in the flick was praised by many notable actors such as Bruckheimer, Tom Hanks, Keira Knightley, Ashton Kutcher and so many more, says biography.com.
