Shining Twins
In the Shining, a Stanley Kubrick film based on a novel by Stephen King, Jack Torrance’s son Danny is riding his big wheels through the hotel when he encounters creepy twin sisters. They are the ghosts of the Grady daughters (played by Lisa and Louise Burns), who were once murdered in the building.
John McClane
In Die Hard, John McClane (Bruce Willis) is an NYPD police officer attending a Christmas work party in an LA skyscraper when Hans Gruber take everyone hostage. He goes John Wayne, or Roy Rogers, on everyone’s ass, stealthily working his way through the building and systematically killing Gruber’s henchmen. Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.
Widowmaker
In Overwatch, Widowmaker (real name Amelie Lacroix) is a cold-blooded French sniper who shows little emotion or remorse. Using her grappling hook, she takes up the perfect hiding spots like a deadly spider, before lining up the perfect kill shot. One shot, one kill.
The Interrogator
In Legion, Clark is an Interrogator (Hamish Linklater) for the government’s Division 3. After suffering third degree burns to 40% of his body, he undergoes a lengthy recovery process before exacting revenge on David Haller and the Summerland mutants who scarred him.
Colleen Wing
In Iron Fist, Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick) is a Japanese martial artist descended from a family of samurai. She runs her own dojo in New York City, and frequently teams up with the superhero known as Iron Fist.
Jyn Erso
In Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) is a reformed criminal who aids the Rebel Alliance in stealing the plans to the Death Star, after a holographic message from her father Galen explains that he had secretly designed a fatal flaw that can be exploited to destroy it.
Queenie Goldstein
In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Queenie Goldstein (Alison Sudol) is a witch who is able to read minds. She lives with her older sister Tina Goldstein who one night brings home soon-to-be-famous magiczoologist Newt Scamander.
Irritabelle
In commercials for the Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) medication Viberzi, Irritabelle (Ilana Becker) is the red-headed personification of a stomach ache with diarrhea, who always makes an entrance at the most unwelcome moments. She follows in the footsteps on weirdly chipper spokespersons like Flo the Progressive Girl and the Orbit Gum Girl.
Tina Goldstein
In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Propentina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) and her sister Queenie raised each other after their parents died of Dragon Pox. She works a ho-hum position for the Magical Congress of the United States of America , at least until she runs into Newt Scamander on the streets of New York.
