If you haven’t been paying attention to her, you probably should. The actress had a breakout year with the horror film Obsession, playing Nikki, a character whose increasingly disturbing behaviour made her one of the most talked-about performances in the film. Then came Marvel. She’s been cast as Rogue in the upcoming X-Men film. That’s a serious career opportunity, and she’s stepping into a character with an enormous existing fanbase. But her recent appearance on Saturday Night Live is what really caught my attention. She took a shot at Shane Gillis over his earlier joke about women wearing revealing outfits to the gym. While discussing the training required for her Marvel role, she joked that she puts on her “little whore outfit” every morning and heads to the gym. It was a clever response, and I enjoyed the fact that she didn’t need a long lecture to make her point. Here’s my take.
