Production for “Army of Thieves” took the cast from Prague to Austria.Įmmanuel was impressed by the sprawling action sequences envisioned by Snyder, who previously directed DC Comics superhero movies such as “Man of Steel” and “Justice League.”
“But this family was a little more dysfunctional, a little bit less connected in the way that the ‘Fast’ movies tend to be.” “I’m also a part of another franchise that has this whole team dynamic, and we have our leader who we sort of all really look up to and respect, and we have this sort of family setting in a way,” Emmanuel said. The character of Dieter, who was previously featured in “Army of the Dead,” is again portrayed by Matthias Schweighofer, who also directed “Army of Thieves.” Snyder is a producer on the new film, and co-created the story with screenwriter Shay Hatten.Įmmanuel saw similarities between her new film and the “Fast & Furious” movies, in which she portrays the hacker Ramsey. What was also great about (Gwendoline), though, is that she was very layered and had a lot of vulnerability, and much more to her than maybe is immediately sort of evident.” “I always love women who have a mad skill or are really smart or have something really impressive about them. “I really am drawn to women who are exceptional in my characters,” said Emmanuel, who also played handmaiden and interpreter Missandei on HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” The new movie, out Friday on Netflix, is set at the very beginning of a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas, offering a distraction as the thieves begin their high-stakes mission in Europe.Įmmanuel, 32, portrays the sleek, pick-pocketing jewelry thief Gwendoline, who recruits Ludwig Dieter to be her team’s expert safe cracker. “Even though it’s a completely different genre, we all have to work together.” I think that’s also true in our little movie,” she explained. “The apocalyptic, zombie thing, and there’s all these different people trying to negotiate it, and they just have to work together to survive. “There’s people from all over the world, from all different places and different backgrounds, and I think that it’s so easy to connect into that,” Emmanuel told the Daily News.
