"Those roles are written to be extremely stoic" she says.
The clever trick in Denis Villeneuve's Sicario is that Emily Blunt's character is presented as the standard hero-type who is there to help bring down a Mexican drug cartel, when in reality she is just a tool to make it appear that some covert CIA black ops shit is more legal than it actually is—undermining both the idea of America's ever-noble attempts to police the world and the trope of the unimpeachable, super-cap
But, if Sicario wasn't apparent enough, Emily Blunt has now stated unequivocally that she is "bored" with hearing scripts that depict a character as a "strong female lead."
Blunt told The Telegraph that "such parts are written as really stoic, you spend the whole time playing tough and saying difficult things," and that "it's the worst thing imaginable" when it appears in a screenplay. "I roll my eyes at it," she says. "I've already left. "I'm tired."
One might argue that she's essentially describing her role in Edge Of Tomorrow (or is it Live Die Repeat?) there, but she didn't expressly mention the film in the interview, so that may not be fair. In any case, Blunt says her character Cornelia in Prime Video's The English is the type of role she enjoys playing these days, saying, "I love a character with a secret, and I loved Cornelia's buoyancy, hopefulness, guilelessness... Cornelia is more surprising than that." She's innocent without being naive, which makes her a formidable opponent."
The English premiered on Prime Video on November 11 if you want to see how that goes.
