In a recent interview with People, during the world premiere of "Pretty Lethal" in Texas, director Vicky Jewson raved about Uma Thurman's unparalleled talent for portraying villainous roles in both the film and her illustrious career. "Uma is undeniably an icon, and she has a unique ability to embody villains like no one else," Vicky effusively praised.
Devora Kasimer, who plays the unsettling roadside innkeeper in "Pretty Lethal," shared her thoughts on Uma's role. "She brings a wicked sense of humor to the character, coupled with an empathy that keeps you engaged even when the most absurd situations arise," Devora said. "I don't think anyone but Uma's talent could pull that off," she added.
The synopsis of the film reads, "From the moment they arrive, something feels off – and their worst instincts prove correct. As the situation turns deadly, they must set aside their rivalries and weaponize years of brutal training, turning grace, discipline, and even pointe shoes into tools for survival."
Uma is known for her iconic villain roles, such as Discord in 2025's "The Old Guard 2" and Poison Ivy in 1997's "Batman & Robin." Her return to the role of a villain in "Pretty Lethal" promises to be yet another unforgettable performance.
