4. Rhona Mitra
I've heard her referred to as the poor man's Kate Beckinsale, but I think Mitra packs a lot more of a punch. I've not seen her acting abilities stretched far too much, but she mows down plenty of baddies in the likes of films like
Doomsday, Skinwalkers, and
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans for me to flat-out fear her. If she didn't play the steely-eyed, silent do-gooder, she could really work the floor as a character not unlike Darth Maul. Dress her up, have her take on three Jedi at one time, and give her a real place in the
Star Wars universe and watch a fan-base gather around her like she was drenched in gold and sent from the heavens. There's a lot working in her favor, so if producers are keeping an open mind, Mitra could really be a breath of fresh air to a franchise that's more than lacking in the strong female department.
