Zoe Saldaña’s 2011 revenge thriller Colombiana is making a streaming comeback, finding a new home on Starz as of November 1, 2025.

The gritty action film, directed by Oliver Megaton (Transporter 3, Taken 2, Taken 3), joins a lineup of high-octane titles including Looper, Van Helsing, The Scorpion King, and the first five Mission: Impossible films.

Colombiana follows Cataleya Restrepo, played by Saldaña, a young woman who becomes an assassin after witnessing the brutal murder of her parents in Bogotá. Leaving behind her signature orchid mark at every crime scene, Cataleya’s mission of vengeance made the film a cult favorite among fans of action thrillers, even if critics were divided upon its release.

The film’s arrival on Starz marks a renewed interest in Saldaña’s earlier work, especially after the buzz surrounding her Oscar-nominated performance in Emilia Pérez. Despite the film’s polarizing reception, Saldaña has continued to cement her reputation as one of Hollywood’s most versatile stars — balancing action roles with prestige drama and blockbuster franchises.

Looking ahead, Saldaña is set to reprise her role as Neytiri in James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash, one of the most anticipated films of 2025. Cameron has hinted that the sequel will take the Na’vi family into “more emotionally challenging places,” promising a darker, more personal continuation of the saga that began with The Way of Water.

With Colombiana’s renewed availability and Avatar on the horizon, it’s clear Zoe Saldaña remains one of cinema’s most dynamic and bankable leading women.
