“I think they’d have to give me a little weapon, though.”
COLLIDER: How are you doing?
VIOLA DAVIS: I’m doing wonderful.
DAVIS: [Laughs] You know what?
I don’t know if I can take on John Wick.
First of all, I love all of those movies.
I’ve seen all of them.
But didn’t he take on about 150 people in the last movie?
It might have been 200, but yes.
DAVIS: You think so?
It was a lot.
I’d like to try it.
I’d like to try.
Well, Halle Berry foughtwithhim.
DAVIS: Not against him.
But you know what?
I’d like to try.
And I would pay good money to see it.
DAVIS: Oh, would you really?
DAVIS: All right.
I think they’d have to give me a little weapon, though.
Well get you a sword, or we’ll get you something to keep him away.
I would love it.
The next most important question.
What do I need to do to have you trade places with our orange president?
DAVIS: [Laughs] Nothing.
I would do a very bad job.
I would probably do a very bad job.
I am someone who just wants everybody to experience love and connection and belonging and everything else.
I would probably cry every single day.
I think you would, but I also think that that compassion is what our country is missing.
I’m just throwing that out there.
The Oscar winner squares off against ‘The Boys’ star Antony Starr in Prime Video’s new thriller.
I’m sure you were offered a lot of scripts.
What was it about this one that said, Oh, yes, I need to do this?"
DAVIS: I’m telling you, I just love a good hero story.
I do, I do, I do, I do.
I love challenging notions of what a leader should look like and what a superhero would look like.
I like surprising, and I felt like this was a surprise.
And just a super-fun movie that everyone could watch.
This is going to be a big hit on Prime when it hits.
Do you have a similar process that you do for all your roles?
Pull back the curtain a little bit on how you like to get ready for a role.
DAVIS: You know how I like to get ready?
To figure out who I am.
Figure out what makes me tick.
What is the need?
What is the super need?
Is it their need to love?
Their need to feel control?
And that takes a lot of work bios, memories, all of that.
Then, I got it from there.
Then the training, and this was in South Africa.
G20is now streaming on Prime Video.
