“It’s the worst thing ever when you open a script and read the words ‘strong female lead,’” Blunt said. “That makes me roll my eyes. I’m already out. I’m bored. Those roles are written as incredibly stoic, you spend the whole time acting tough and saying tough things.”,” is far “more surprising” than what the simplified “strong female lead” label describes. “She’s innocent without being naive and that makes her a force to be reckoned with,” the actor added.
“The English” stars Blunt as a frontier woman hellbent on avenging the death of her son. Cornelia partners with an indigenous farmer named Eli , who is also on a mission of revenge in order to reclaim his land. “I love a character with a secret,” Blunt said. “And I loved Cornelia’s buoyancy, her hopefulness, her guilelessness… She startles Eli out of his silence and their differences become irrelevant because they need each other to survive. I thought that was very cool.”
Blunt joins a growing list of female actors who have spoken out against the “strong female lead” label. “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” actor Tatiana Maslany told The Guardian in August that it’s “frustrating” for roles to be reduced to that one “strong” trait. “It’s reductive,” Maslany added. “It’s just as much a shaving off of all the nuances, and just as much of a trope. It’s a box that nobody fits into. Even the phrase is frustrating. It’s as if we’re supposed to be grateful that we get to be that.”

I love her sfm
Here I was under the impression Emily was SFL of A Quiet Place & 2
What an absolute 11/10 of a woman and a pro and the funny thing is that she has played some of the most interesting, complex and strong yet femenine characters in modern cinema, never fails to deliver her part. Instantly took a liking to her since I watched Edge of Tomorrow
Surprised Variety is even giving her a voice with views like those....
Chad emily blunt
That's pretty blunt.
Good on her
