10 Actresses Who Made An Unexpected Splash In Popular Franchises
7. Sienna Miller - GI Joe: Rise Of Cobra
Patronisingly defined by her relationship with Jude Law, Sienna Miller gradually made her mark on the silver screen, going from Interview with Steve Buscemi to The Girl alongside Toby Jones. She clearly wasn't happy to be pigeonholed, though one particular part looked like a stretch, even for this ambitious performer. Toy giant Hasbro handed the keys to their kingdom to Mummy helmer Stephen Sommers for G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra. Action aficionados were pleased as a punch in the privates about Rachel Nichols in a tight jumpsuit as Scarlett. They weren't so sure about Miller's casting as the film's kick ass female villain, the Baroness. They needn't have worried, as the British bombshell squeezed into the leathers for a memorable turn as the complex enforcer aiding the dastardly Cobra in taking over the world. The actress definitely did her best to attract maximum attention, despite co-star Christopher Eccleston's wobbly Scots accent.
