Viola Davis on Difficult Action Scenes in ‘ The Woman King’

Posted By: Tristan Zeldenon: September 16, 2022In: Movies, NewsTags: The Woman King, Viola DavisNo Comments Print Email There is a good reason stunt people exist, as they can properly perform certain scenes without risk of injury for the actors. Sometimes, you just have to get the actors to do what they are willing or able to do. For Viola Davis in The Woman King, the action was so difficult that she thought she might not be able to do it and needed to be replaced. In an interview with Collider, she opened up about the brutal production of the film that was released today (September 16). In film production, some scenes are repeatedly done until it is done perfectly dozens of times. It can be a seemingly endless task to repeat something until the director is satisfied. For Viola Davis, in one battle in The Woman King, she had to flip a man about “20 times.” Doing that over and over got her to the point of rethinking if she could do the film. “Well, I had to flip a man in the village raid scene when we come out of the grass, and then I battle this one guy and flip him over, and they said, ‘Cut! Didn’t work.’ And I was like, ‘Wait, wait, wait. What?’ And then I think I may have done that 20 times,” she said. “And I thought to myself, there were times when I said, “Okay, somebody else is going to have to do this role. They’re going to have to call in another actress.”

Viola Davis struggled with the action scenes in The Woman King

Performing intense choreography helps when you’re young, like seeing Tom Holland in Uncharted or Spider-Man, or Amber Midthunder in Prey. As their bodies can recover quicker after hours of working on the same scene, it primes them for films like this. However, for the actress, at 57 years old, it was another story. When Collider’s Steve Weintraub brought up Liam Neeson going down an action-heavy road as he got older, the actress talked about her respect for him and how much easier it is to perform movies like this when you are in your 20s. “He’s not coming to set as a 20-something-year-old where your body rejuvenates easier. But that’s with anything; once you actually do anything, you see the fantasy of it and the reality of it.” Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Old Guard) directed the film. Dana Stevens (Fatherhood) penned the script. The Woman King is led by Viola Davis, Thuso Mbedu (The Underground Railroad), Lashana Lynch (No Time to Die), and John Boyega. The film is currently out in theaters. Tags: The Woman KingViola Davis Previous
