Viola Davis On Working In ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes’: I Wanted To Impress My 13-Year-Old Daughter, Genesis

In ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes,’ Viola Davis impresses as the wicked Dr. Volumnia Gaul. Viola, with her wide experience and superb acting background, is the ideal Dr Gaul, the Head Gamemaker of ‘The Hunger Games’. Aside from her terrible preparations for ‘The Games’, she is also instrumental in Coriolanus becoming the man he is now. This fascinating prequel features a strong ensemble that includes Peter Dinklage, Hunter Schafer, Josh Anders Rivera, and Jason Schwartzman.

At the Los Angeles fan screening, as quoted by Business Insider, Viola Davis said, “I’m just gonna say it. I wanted to impress my 13-year-old daughter, Genesis. I did have the best time. I had the best time torturing the young people. Sometimes I feel that people see me as so maternal and good. I have people who want to hug me at Target. It was just a pleasure to play not a very huggable character, I will say, and step out of my comfort zone and be a part of this franchise.”

‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes’ released in theatres in India today.
