"Someone recently told me how refreshing it is to see an Asian woman as a superhero," she reveals.
#Who played katana suicide squad movie#
The star believes her character may be set to make a major impact on fans when the movie is released in August (16) as she has already been told that the rarity of seeing an Asian superhero on screen makes Katana stand out. "In Japanese culture there’s this idea of putting others before yourself, but I’ve also never wanted to let myself down." "Katana and I may not have the same personality, but coming from the same cultural upbringing, we share core values," Karen explains. David Ayer has confirmed actor Karen Fukuhara's character of Katana had a more prominent role in his version of 2016's Suicide Squad. "Samurai are almost always male, so growing up in America I had a hard time figuring out role models."Īlthough in real-life she does not share her character's warrior-like personality, she says that sharing her Japanese cultural background means she does feel a certain kinship with Katana. Published David Ayer confirmed the sword-wielding Katana played by Karen Fukuhara had a bigger role in his version of Warner Bros.' Suicide Squad. “As a first-generation Japanese American, I’ve always wanted to play a samurai warrior like my Suicide Squad character, Katana," she told America's Playboy magazine. The star is delighted to get the chance to play the role, as she feels there are not enough compelling role models for young Asian American women. Having joined up to the team voluntarily, Katana's background in the movie is rather different to most of the other characters, who are supervillains forced to join to earn a taste of freedom. Karen, 24, plays Katana, a skilled martial artist and samurai in the upcoming comic book movie, in which a collection of rogues with superpowers form a secretive task force to perform dangerous missions on behalf of the U.S. With the mission looking to be nothing more than Waller persuading her temporary lackeys to act against their own best interest, in the name her own, she effectively causes the group to distrust her - Katana included.Suicide Squad actress Karen Fukuhara hopes her role as a samurai warrior in the superhero film will inspire young Asian Americans. Deadshot : Hes like the gold standard, okay Triangle, bitch.
You heard of Phil Jackson Rick Flag : Yeah. Rick Flag : Lady, shut up Deadshot : You might wanna work on your team motivation thing. Originally operating under the illusion that she and her Suicide Squad compatriots are evacuating a high value target, while combating the menace that is the army of the Enchantress in Midway City, Katana and her teammates are surprised when they find out that their mission has always been about evacuating Amanda Waller. See Kane, Bob Kallen, Horace, 178 Kane, Bob, 19 as Bob Kahn, 7 Karate Kid/Val Armorr, 127, 156157, 159, 233 Karma, 204 Katana, 297 in Suicide Squad. Harley Quinn : Im known to be quite vexing.
What do I do? What's the right and just thing? That's what prompts her to betray him in a way, and make that decision to go into the bar, away from Flag.
When becomes something different than justice, which she is fighting for, which her character is based on, then there's a rift, there's a problem. Within the movie, Amanda Waller and moreso Rick Flag are her 'lords,' so she can't betray her lords, unless there's a problem with the way they're operating. It was a very hard scene, because Katana's loyal, she's fiercely loyal.
