After a deftly timed flirtation with darker, edgier subject matter
in last year's Baby Driver, plus an eye - catching appearance as Churchill's secretary
in Darkest Hour, the 29 - year - old actress is raising her
game with three
female -
led features that promise to position her as a British
leading lady with international clout.
She's just booked the
female lead in Pixels, the video
game - inspired action - comedy being directed by Chris Columbus and produced by Adam Sandler.

in Winter's Child (1989) and Maggie Cheung
in Irma Vep (1996) to Connie Nielsen
in Demonlover (2002) and Juliette Binoche
in Summer Hours (2008); the
female lead in an Assayas film requires an actress of international standing at the top of her
game.
the
female character
in that is the most ineffectual useless character i've ever seen
in a video
game, you literally have to
lead her by the hand virtually everywhere.
The other idea floating around suffers a similar problem as it would be to continue the franchise with Chloe Frazer another
female lead but considering Chloe is an established character where people already know how different she is to Lara Croft and one who was not featured
in the last Uncharted
game she would be a welcome addition
in the next instalment and is an idea I feel is the most fitting.
- players rack up points by eating humans, and destroying buildings
in each five - minute match - roughly 250 Titans to play as from the main
game - each of them have various stats, such as speed and stamina - the smaller Titans move quicker, while larger Titans have more stamina - there are two types of humans; citizens and nobles - nobles are shown on the map by a green distress signal, and are worth more points - Titans can smash buildings just by walking into them, but dashing causes buildings to fall faster - destroying buildings gives less points, but also fills up the Rage Gauge for the Rage Attack - player Titans can attack each other - by defeating another player, the defeated player loses half their points - a Levi counter will start counting down on the
leading player after some time passes - when it reaches zero, the player with the icon will immediately be killed by Levi - by hitting other player Titans, the counter can be passed on to them instead - the Levi counter doesn't reset upon handing it to another player - special titans like Eren's Titan, the
Female Titan, and Armored Titan will appear and attack players randomly - player Titans can be defeated by these special enemies
in one hit - special enemy Titans and Levi will disappear after defeating one of the players - Rage Attacks slow down opponents, scramble their controls, give you super armor, and more - at the end of a match, the points are tallied up, and the person with the most points win - playable online and offline on Switch

female companion for Sorata you're then able to choose another male companion for the
