She was notably very annoyed at the criticisms saying she wasn't black enough. However, later on she apologized for taking the role, admitting she wasn't the best choice in hindsight.

* MainstreamObscurity:[[invoked]] She's appeared in [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse some of]] [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl the biggest]] [[Film/StarTrek2009 franchises of]] [[{{Film/Avatar}} all time]], but your parents probably couldn't pick her out of a lineup. Perhaps due to her frequent GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe getup, or said franchises' numerous characters or maybe being Hollywood's reigning "Queen of Space" gives her little recognition [[SciFiGhetto outside the sci-fi crowd]]. The fact that she bears a striking resemblance to Creator/ThandiweNewton doesn't help. She's complained that even her own mother gets them confused.
