Jodie Foster

I know – she has retreated from the spotlight. However, from time to time, she does act. Unfortunately, the roles she accepts (Elysium, Nim’s Island) aren’t exactly the roles worthy of her stature. Does she take them just for the money? I guess she does, just like many other actors who started their careers in the ‘80s.

And she has proved that she can play the part, no matter what the part demanded. So what if she joins one of the bigger comic book shared universes? As with Helen Mirren, she’d be great as an all-powerful entity in the MCU or as a queen of old in the DCEU.

She did have some harsh words to say about the industry, in particular that Hollywood doesn’t like taking risks. And it may be so. However, she could still be convinced by the right script. And I guess the DCEU is perfect for her – after all, Warner Bros. does gamble with its superhero flicks.
