Was it a little intimidating at first, to walk onto your first set and there's Will Smith and Margot Robbie, Viola Davis and all those people? We hang out on the weekend, we have a group chat going on with some of the squad members, and the thread is fun. Everyone is so caring, and we're hanging out all the time. So I really lucked out with how amazing everyone is. A lot of the cast members have been telling me that it doesn't get as good as this usually. We have about a month left, I think, and the sadness is already coming in and the pressure of moving away from everyone. But we've just become such a little family, and we're going towards the end of our shoot. I mean, I have nothing to compare it to because, like you said, it's my first movie. We've heard you've been doing a lot of your own stunts. The Squad is always together, so it's not just one character. Does she create any relationships or bond with any of the other Suicide Squad members? What members do you get to have scenes with and bond with? You mentioned that she's close to Rick Flag, and working with Rick and Amanda. Try fighting someone that doesn't care about what the outcome is for them, you know? You're going against someone who's going to give it their all no matter how many times you shoot at them. And when someone doesn't care about her own well-being - to kill someone else and to protect someone - that makes her the scariest one. So would it be safe to say she's just as deadly as the others? What's her role? How does she fit in with those characters? In this film, she's hanging with supervillains. In the comics, the character has normally been portrayed as heroic, a member of the Outsiders and on other teams. Not only just the mental part in doing the research behind the character in terms of comics, but also physically, like looking the part and also being able to do all the stunts. We did it almost every day, so that's helped a lot as well. The production, they've helped me a lot with fitness, martial arts training and swordfight training. She's an exquisite martial artist and a swordsman - swordswoman - player of swords. But bringing that, and knowing that at the back of my mind really helps with playing the character and doing all the action and everything. I got lucky because Katana has her own comic book series, and then I read "Birds of Prey." It helps a lot when you know the backstory of her character, because in this movie, I don't think you see much of that. How much of that backstory did you have to flesh out in order to get to know this character? Katana has a very interesting, complex background. Which was really funny, because on my audition sheet it said, "Oh, you know, if you have a sword, make sure you bring it so that you can show us what you can do." And I was thinking in my head, "How many people have swords at home to just bring on to the audition?" But I got lucky, because a friend of a friend, who was into swordfighting, was nice enough to give me a private lesson the day before and show me a couple tricks and let me borrow his sword. So my audition consisted of a monologue, dialogue and then a one-minute martial arts demonstration, and then a one-minute swordfighting demonstration. I know that they looked all over Asia for someone who spoke English, and also Japanese, and also knew how to do all the stunt work. But, yeah, it was kind of amazing to see our first photo go up, and then the positive reactions that came with it.Ĭan you talk about how you won this role and what the audition process was like? Online it said I was going to be playing Plastique, which was interesting because she's a red-headed, green-eyed, voluptuous woman.
