We visualize her more spontaneously in dramatic films, sometimes playing a cold and implacable conductor in
Tár
(2022), a depressive bourgeoisie in
Blue Jasmine
(2013) or an icy queen in
Elizabeth
(1998).
This time, Cate Blanchett returns to the screen in a role the opposite of what the public is used to.
In
Borderlands
, directed by Eli Roth, the first trailer of which was unveiled this Wednesday, February 21, the actress plays Lilith.
Faithful to the character from the video game created by Gearbox Software, his short red hair stands alone as if blown to the side, his eyes are surrounded by black and the holster to store his colossal weapons is still attached to his thigh.
We see her throwing herself on car hoods to shoot her enemies, being blown away by explosions and of course fighting, a lot.

Fighting alongside Jamie Lee Curtis
In the storyline, Lilith, a fugitive, returns to her planet Pandora to search for Atlas' missing daughter.
In the role of his acolytes responsible for helping him in his mission, we find in particular Kevin Hart, Jack Black, the voice-over of a small robot, and none other than Jamie Lee Curtis.
If Cate Blanchett surprises in this role, in reality, this is not the first time that she lends herself to the game of makeup and costumes for science fiction.
It was she who played the big baddie Hela, in
Thor: Ragnarok
, the second part of the saga about the character from the Marvel universe, released in 2017.
