Elena Anaya, the actress who portrayed Dr. Mara a.k.a Dr. Poison in Wonder Woman is hoping to show the character's softer side in a sequel.
However, first things first. Anaya isn't actually sure that Dr. Maru will be in the sequel, though she's game to reprise the role.
"Yes yes yes. But I have no answer for that. As you know, when these movies are made, they ask you basically to marry them for the rest of your life," Anaya tells The Verge, laughing. "I'd be so happy to be back, to be able to be evil again. It's so good, it's so fantastic."
Anaya may not be sure about Dr. Poison's future, but she does have some ideas about what she'd like to do with the character if given the chance.
"I think Dr. Maru has a lot left to do, and show, and tell. She hides her femininity and vulnerability. It's so easy for her to escape from every situation. She's like a tiny criminal ant, it's so difficult for her to be caught. She has many faces," Anaya explains. "You know, there is a moment in the movie when we see her face without the damage, and she looks like a fairly normal, easygoing chemist, like somebody who's clever in her work. Who could tell that this person is going to invent the most destructive weapon ever? So I think Dr. Maru could have a nice side, and show it to the audience. It'd show a lot to the audience about evil people. About what I said about how they exist in real life, with a lot of power to changes everybody's life."
The nice side of Dr. Poison? The would be interesting to see.
