Zoe Saldana provides examples of the following tropes:
- Action Girl: The Losers, Colombiana, Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy and her other MCU appearances ...she's easy to spot in Pirates of the Caribbean, as she's the lone female member of Jack Sparrow's crew.
- Badass Spaniard
- Character Abandonment: Anamaria is never seen or heard from again after the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Interestingly, the cast was told in Dead Man's Chest that Anamaria would appear at the ending of the film, so the shock and surprise of Captain Barbossa greeting them was genuine.
- Fake Nationality: She often plays African Americans despite being Dominican.
