Naomi Scott Dishes About 'Charlie's Angels' With 'AnOther' Magazine

Naomi Scott wears an oversized suit on the cover of AnOther magazine.

Here’s what the 26-year-old actress shared:

On Charlie’s Angels: “As a kid I just yearned to do this type of role. Me and my friend would always play spies, but seeing a woman on screen solving her own problems, being a badass, a superhero, was so rare. I actually felt emotional when I saw Robin Wright and Gal Gadot go at it in Wonder Woman. Regardless of the kind of movies you like, that’s empowering.”

On auditioning: “In auditions in the past I’ve had those comments, ‘She’s kind of exotic, we don’t really know what she is … ’ But that idea is now being challenged. We’re seeing movies with female leads making millions of dollars, movies with predominantly black casts making millions, and that’s exciting.”

On Hollywood: “It’s going in the right direction. A business like that takes time to change. At first it will be a reaction to what’s happening in the culture, as time goes on you’ll see – maybe the execs need to be more diverse, the people making the decisions need to have different perspectives.”
