355
» Genre: Spy Thriller » Director: Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Dark Phoenix) » Actors: Jessica Chastain, Penélope Cruz, Lupita Nyong’o The film’s title is derived from Agent 355 – the code name of a female spy who was active during the American Revolution. Jessica Chastain plays Mace Brown – a wild card CIA agent who teams up with other international agents to find a top-secret weapon that could open a Pandora’s box of trouble. Chastain, recently told Empire that Hollywood often displays female spies as honeypots when in reality, “Women weren’t being used for their bodies, they were being used for their minds, which is a more interesting concept.” This film seeks to knock down this and many more stereotypes about women.
