Naomi Scott 'Yearned' For A Role Like Hers In 'Charlie's Angels'

Naomi Scott stuns in this pic from her feature with AnOther magazine.

The 26-year-old actress opens up about her upcoming movie, Charlie’s Angels, growing up as a preacher’s daughter and more. Check it:

On Charlie’s Angels: “As a kid I just yearned to do this type of role. Me and my friend would always play spies, but seeing a woman on screen solving her own problems, being a badass, a superhero, was so rare. I actually felt emotional when I saw Robin Wright and Gal Gadot go at it in Wonder Woman. Regardless of the kind of movies you like, that’s empowering.”

On Hollywood: “It’s going in the right direction. A business like that takes time to change. At first it will be a reaction to what’s happening in the culture, as time goes on you’ll see – maybe the execs need to be more diverse, the people making the decisions need to have different perspectives.”

On her faith: “This is my belief system and you have yours and we can coexist and accept each other for who we are. That feels correct to me. But I’m still figuring it out, I’m always going to be questioning. Me and my dad have long conversations. I’m interested in sitting down and having a nuanced conversation rather than shouting things across Twitter. The Church is often seen as an institution that’s there to keep people in a box. I think it should be the opposite. It should be a place you can be completely who you are and say, ‘Yo, I’m a mess.’ Where people can speak honestly, where everything comes from love, as opposed to judging you when they don’t even know you.”
