HANNA’s Mireille Enos Talks About Her Complex Villainess Character

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”17275″ img_size=”560×330″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Mireille Enos plays one bad mother-effer in Amazon Prime’s upcoming show HANNA. If you watched the first episode, which was released right after the Superbowl; you know she is not to be messed with and Marissa (Enos) is far from the character Linden on AMC’s The Killing. As a cold, menacing villain, Enos dives in about what went in to crafting this complex female baddie:

“Jon Jones is a super interesting director, and so when we started our dialogue, he spent a lot of time talking about the wicked witch–like being the wicked witch and also being the protagonist. And he said you can argue also that Eric is the protagonist and Hanna is the protagonist, but in this conversation let’s argue that Marissa’s the protagonist and also the wicked witch. But then there are moments where she’s our heroine, too.”

Enos then continued, commenting on the character’s duality:

“The thing I liked about her was that she’s capable of being so many different people. I think that’s an aspect of being a spy, which we touch on in films a lot, is their ability to be chameleons. That’s always a nice starting place that you have permission to go. She’s been a monster in her past, right now she’s doing a desk job, and she has people she loves–there are all of these different aspects of her. I liked that there was no need to be narrow.”

HANNA will hit Amazon Video on March 29th – will you be watching?
