“Ahmanet is the ultimate feminist, I think,” Boutella says of her character, an Egyptian royal who is denied her shot at becoming pharaoh because she’s not a man, thus igniting her wrath. She’s just pleased to be part of one that doesn’t downgrade its female characters. She doesn’t mean it as a political statement, but more as a general comment on why it’s important to have equal representation on film. How come they didn’t think about that before?”īoutella, 35, has selected one of Dior’s “We Should All Be Feminists” shirts to wear while doing press for the movie, which opens Friday.
“If you piss off a woman she’s far more brutal than a man. “Why aren’t monsters being played by women?” Boutella muses, lying on a couch during an interview here. It shouldn’t be notable that Boutella’s furious ancient Egyptian villain is female, but it is. Matt Barr, previously seen in the CW’s “Valor” and Fox’s “Sleepy Hollow,” leads the cast alongside Sofia Pernas, whose recent TV credits include “Jane the Virgin” and NBC’s “The Brave.” The series also stars Michael James Shaw, Katia Winter, James Callis, Alicia Coppola, and Mark Gagliardi, with (as seen in the trailer) John Larroquette making a cameo appearance.Actress Sofia Boutella embodies the titular character in the latest version of “The Mummy,” a reinterpretation of the 1932 Boris Karloff film and a reboot of Universal’s monster franchise. A modern-day action thriller with touches of “Indiana Jones” and “National Treasure,” creators Matthew Federman and Stephen Scaia deliver an odd couple globe-trotting adventure about an antiquities expert and a cunning art thief who team up to take down a notorious thief/terrorist (played by “The Mummy’s” Oded Fehr.) This year, look to “ Blood and Treasure” as the latest show to follow in this tradition. Despite much of the network’s airtime being devoted to procedurals, CBS has developed a recent tradition of devoting its summer programming slots to more out-there genre programming - shows that might defy expectations and represent more bonkers storytelling.
