I’m not a DC comics fan, so Suicide Squad isn’t really my thing, but I do hope one day she shows up in one of “my” franchises.

Well Star Wars, Star Trek, X-Men and Marvel MCU are my big ones. Lately I’ve been very into the MCU watching all the movies over again from the first one. She’d even make a great Bond villain.

I think that says a lot. When an actor or actress can still be excellent, even in something less than worthy of their talents.

Brilliant actress! Can’t believe she is in her fifties as she doesn’t look it. I love her when she gets to perform very emotional scenes because she is excellent in such moments. A very emotive and powerful actress. Even if she only has a few minutes screen time she steals every second she is in, and you remember her performance. Happy Birthday, Viola.
