I feel like she is consistently being miscast as an action heroine. She always seemed too cute and bubbly to be an action badass. Her face is incredibly expressive yet her roles never demand expressivenes from her, which makes her talents go to waste. It's funny that Lena Headey played Cersei and Emilia played Daenerys which are completing non-interchangeable but somehow somebody thought they both could play Sarah Connor. Lena Headeys Sarah Connor worked, because she already has that punk Rockstar badass Joan Jett vibe while Emila is more of the girl next door type. It's strange how often lead actresses of big franchises have troubles in the years after by trying to break out into other mayor productions (see Kristen Stewart, Emma Watson, Dakota Johnson, Sophie Tuner), while actors usually take on much smaller projects and have a steady career (see Daniel Radcliffe, Elijah Woods, Kit Harington).
