Emmy Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series Award winner Anna Sawai has somewhat suddenly burst into high profile since she was working on filming season one of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.

She and her M:LOM character Cate Randa unfortunately have taken a lot of fan blowback over season one and the early episodes of season two.

Legendary seems determined to build the Monsterverse with compelling character drama with imperfect heros. They got the same kind of flack for Kong: Skull Island (2017) despite a strong cast and some of their best writing.

It’s being successful in definitely drawing in new fans. One can only be hopeful that there’s enough of a balance with kaiju action to moderate the negativity from long term ones.

It’s interesting to have a major THR interview with Sawai in any event.

She’s definitely rising as as an A-lister.
