The fact that she spoke less during the movie and yet made for a badass antagonist against tom is praiseworthy!

[@commanderiosifstalin4938]

What I don't understand is why they made her character speak entirely in French. Her English is good, why speak French anyway.

[@hsd287]

Maybe to show her as her native self ❤

[@LarcosMusic]

@@commanderiosifstalin4938she’s French.

[@DonJ1973]

Pom’s character Paris was badass. Luckily you got this interview filmed before the SAG strike.

[@LNatureblush]

I know, right? I think she is as good as the Robert Patrick playing T-1000 Cyborg from Terminator 2! I was thinking how is this tiny woman going to fight Tom and make it believable...but wow...she scared the crap out of me watching her in the movie.

[@twheeler1980]

From Mantis to Paris… incredible. She’s such a gem.

[@MMaRsu]

Bro she was Mantis? Lmao thats awesome how did I not notice O_o

[@mamamememoo]

Pom’s backstory and her success today is truly inspiring and nothing short of incredible. She is tenacious, resilient, beautiful, talented and someone so deserving of all that she has today. I wish her every happiness and joy possible.

[@tiroyaonematlala9286]

She's my favorite actress and celebrity crush 😏😍💚.

[@earlybird3668]

she is a powerhouse in Mission Impossible 7. She really plays a villain well.

[@commanderiosifstalin4938]

She played a villain well in Oldboy 10 years ago.

[@MMaRsu]

@@commanderiosifstalin4938People watched that trash? Just watch the original instead of the fake american remake

[@blackjackdoubledown]

Such a humble, ambitious, and incredibly talented actress! Love her.

[@chrisburns514]

Awesome. She’s so great in the movie, hope to see her do more action in the future

[@thierrydeakin]

I Agree.

[@bluejayanimations1276]

From an alien psychic to a ruthless assassin, I really like Mrs. Klementieff's acting scale!

[@Jakesully133]

Oh my God ... I just realized that's who she is lol

[@commanderiosifstalin4938]

What I don't understand is why make her from English-speaking character to French-speaking character. Her English is good, I can't hear her French accent when she speaks English.

[@mastershooter64]

@@commanderiosifstalin4938 Is it illegal to have a french speaking character in movies? I think it was just a creative decision.

[@Nightshay]

@@commanderiosifstalin4938actually you kind of do notice the French accent. I don’t know if you are French or not but it’s noticeable

[@commanderiosifstalin4938]

@@Nightshay No, I'm not French, I don't speak French. I just don't understand why make her character speak French in this film.

[@ar1sm70]

She pulled off the menacing look without needing to speak much, great performance!

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

she was my favorite character in the movie and i really hope she’s a big part in part 2

[@GOOD4U360]

She dies in this don’t think she’ll be in part 2

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

@@GOOD4U360 the last scene she was in a guy said “she still has a pulse”…

[@Jakesully133]

​@@VECTOR_Coastersooh good catch. I thought she died as well

[@VECTOR_Coasters]

@@Jakesully133 my dad thought so as well but i’m VERY glad she isn’t

[@chrispunzalan7471]

​@@VECTOR_Coasterswhat scene are you referring to? I must have missed it

[@jimtokheim1422]

I've only seen the trailers so far, but just those brief glimpses of her in the trailers impressed me! She just looks maniacal and menacing, like she's enjoying the job. Can't wait to see this and her performance in it. She's got big things in store for her, I'm sure! Good interview too, btw. Sometimes interviewers only want to hear about "what it was like working with.....". That gets old.

[@somerset8088]

she is beyond maniacal and menancing in the car chase scenes! great actress!

[@amiciprocul8501]

Can someone say "Range"

[@lisalandry9346]

She’s so dang good in this film. Scary and good!

[@SliderFury1]

So happy her character survived, really excited for her role in Part 2!

[@wongsifu460]

??? She survived ???

[@wisyms]

@@wongsifu460yes at the end she has a pulse

[@hsd287]

I hope she's not dead 😢

[@jessejames8490]

​@@hsd287she's not dead. She's returning and she has switched sides.

[@dharshanak4118]

looking at her role here, it's hard to imagine that it's the same person that played 'mantis', which is a polar opposite character. she's a really good actor.

[@jonathanblaze1648]

The most interesting character in the movie. Great performance, truly a stand out.

[@nuttapongphetpradub8005]

I hope she gets horror movie role. She is fantastic in both comical and serious acting. Can’t wait for her next.

[@isaiahbrooks7271]

Love this film so much Tom killed it as always

[@brianchua4240]

Saw the movie today, and to say she was a badass is totally an understatement.

[@mandygarcia4872]

She was fantastic as Paris...i was rooting for her as the villan that says a lot about her acting and great storyline.

[@zzd7ry]

Unbelievable movies stunts and it looks so genuine. Lot of gratitude to Tom Cruise and the end team.

[@mennashaban1654]

She did her best; I loved her so much and I cannot forget her facial expressions. ❤ Well done.

[@su_shi]

Her acting was incredible

[@Julian-p7q-b4t]

She was so badass. That chase scene in Rom.😍😍😍😍😍 But: Fallout is still the king

[@LNatureblush]

I know! I totally underestimated her since she was so tiny and petite during the press tour...she proved me wrong. She was so scary and such a fierce baddie in the movie.

[@Julian-p7q-b4t]

@@LNatureblush But I also really miss Henry Cavill/Walker in MI7. He was so great. You should also see Fallout, its a masterpiece. 👍👍

[@joetravieso3542]

Fallout is prince, Ghost Protocal is King

[@commanderiosifstalin4938]

@@joetravieso3542 What about Top Gun: Maverick?

[@wongsifu460]

I was impressed by her character as the silent psycho assassin

[@bigboss-oz2vi]

shes right mission impossible is the best

[@princevegeta717]

She was a badass in that movie and they said she had a pulse at the end so hopefully she lives and will be in part 2 since her character was amazing. She was one the best parts of the movie imo

[@yannaedc5934]

Well, I just watched it and enjoyed the movie. Paris Is my favorite character. Hearing that it was the actor's dream and that she actually got the role, is pretty sick

[@NeoPayneHK]

and it is good that she will appear in part two!!!

[@borinacalzetta1394]

Great interpretation, genuine professional actress

[@gregrizal5043]

Mantis became a villain after leaving Guardians. Kidding, shes really intense and menacing in this movie.

[@KevinQuesada448]

She is excellent excellent excellent one more motive to go see the movie again

[@rendyandrian7149]

After GoG christmas and Vol 3, I always laugh whenever I listen to Pom's voice. She has cute and a bit raspy voice. It's good she does very little speaking role in this film. So she can be a ruthless assassin as her role demand.

[@mastershooter64]

woah irl she's talking almost exactly like Mantis!! Didn't know her irl voice/cadence was so similar to her character in GOTG

[@isaiahbrooks7271]

Tom is great teacher and want you succeed

[@bagpakpark7097]

Her character was awesome.. is she Korean🇰🇷 and Russian growing up in France🇫🇷?

Her character is stronger than the main protagonist "Gabriel".

[@RdnFikri]

I watched GotG 3 the same day as Dead Reckoning in theatre. It's just weird seeing Mantis and Paris being played by the same person.

she would be great as a live action motoko for a true ghost in the shell movie
