Frankie Monet recently spoke to Wrestling Inc. Daily where she revealed she loves playing villainous roles and she also talked about her upcoming movie Unchained. She said;
“I was approached by the director, Raphaello. He sent me this script and [he] thought I was really good for this part of Regina. I read it, I thought it was really fun and really different than anything I’d ever done before and I wanted to give it a try. We filmed this in the fall of 2019. It was supposed to come out last year, but obviously the world decided to do otherwise. So, we waited a long time for this and I’m excited for everyone to see it. It finally comes out July 2 on Amazon Prime.”
“I play a villain who is a huge part of them ending up in this fight club. I won’t try and spoil anything for you because I really want everyone to see it. But it was really different from any character I’ve ever played before. She was very stripped down, there was no glamour. It was all fighting in dirt and all that kind of stuff you expect in a fighting-thriller-action movie. I’m excited to be a part of something that has a woman as a lead. There are a lot of women, and stunt women, in this film and I was excited to be a part of that.”
On a being a villain;
“Absolutely! Who doesn’t want to be a bad guy? Every good guy needs a crazy bad guy, right? There’s always got to be a villain to have a hero. Throughout my career I’ve played a lot of villains, but this one is completely different. It was really interesting to study who Regina was and how I felt she should look, speak, and carry herself. I’m just really thankful that the director Raphaello entrusted me and saw something in me to be able to take on this part.”
