In the world of Robert Rodriguez's We Can Be Heroes, not all heroes have superpowers. Just look at Ms. Granada, played by Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Granada doesn't have a costume, a code name, or special abilities, but when the world needs the Heroics, there's no one better to lead the charge.
After an alien spacecraft attacks two of Earth's most powerful heroes, the Heroics learn that more ships are on the way. A lot more. And so, the Heroics' support staff leaps into action - and from the very beginning, there's no doubt who's running the show. As this scene shows, Ms. Granada may not be on the front lines, but she's the one calling all of the shots.
Chopra Jonas' forceful charisma is striking for viewers who haven't seen her before, but it's been a running theme throughout her acting career. In her breakout movie, Aitraaz, Chopra Jonas plays a woman who stops at nothing in her hunt for power. Similarly, in Seven Sins Forgiven, Chopra Jonas stars as Susanna Anna-Marie, who has no qualms about killing each of her six husbands when their personality flaws prove too much to deal with.
Chopra Jonas shows the same fortitude, grit, and resolve when she plays heroes, too. For Mary Kom, in which she plays the real-life boxer who's famous for winning a record eight World Championship medals, Chopra Jonas nabbed all kinds of award-seasons gold. On the TV thriller Quantico, Chopra Jonas starred for three seasons as Alex Parrish, a tough-as-nails FBI agent, terror suspect, and, ultimately, CIA operative. If you want steely strength, you cast Chopra Jonas. She never fails to deliver.
