Katan’s tactical and hand-to-hand combat skills are no joke.

I think by the end of it she finds her family, and that's her story, and her journey to overcome trust issues as well and becoming part of a team and the Squad.” And I think for this movie it's Rick Flag, along with Amanda Waller,” Fukuhara said. Her oath is to give back to who she owes it to. “She's the protector of Rick Flag, so I'd like to think she's still one of the only characters that are so-called 'good,' or, you know, 'heroic.' She has her own moral code. While she may be standoffish at the start of the film, Fukuhara said she’ll eventually warm up to everyone. In the comics, Katana isn’t known to be villainous like the rest of the squad, but her traumatic past is something she has in common with other team members. Katana serves at Rick Flag’s protector, so it’ll be interesting to see the nature of their relationship and find out why they’re so close. Try fighting someone that doesn't care about what the outcome is for them, you know? You're going against someone who's going to give it their all no matter how many times you shoot at them. And when someone doesn't care about her own well-being - to kill someone else and to protect someone - that makes her the scariest one. “She is the deadliest,” Fukuhara explained. And I just got back to the same karate dojo that I used to do in high school.Karen Fukuhara thinks her character, Katana, is the most ferocious member of the squad. Having a trainer changes your life, it really does. I either go on the rower or watch a TV show on the treadmill, and then I do some weight lifting.

Now that filming is behind you, what’s your fitness routine like?

Then the next day, it was completely clean-though you do need a good conditioner after. this year, and I found out about this Moroccanoil shampoo that essentially strips away all the product. It wouldn’t come out for a week! But we did reshoots in L.A. My go-to when I feel gunky is the Clarisonic, but I don’t do that every day. I like to use oil to take everything off, and then I cleanse after. What was your skin-care regimen during filming? We used Dax Wax for my hair, and then for makeup, the most important feature was her scars. I did sweat a lot during all the action scenes, and it would start sliding off sometimes we’d put tape underneath to make sure it would stay. They did a whole mold of my face, so the mask fit perfectly. Given that you wear a mask, what was your hair and makeup like? There wasn’t a nutritionist, but we did have meals that were specifically made for us. I ate a lot of quinoa, greens, chicken breast. But for the movie, a lot of your physicality comes from not only training but your diet, too. Well, I love food and I love carbs: Pasta, rice-that’s my thing. Humans don’t really have that kind of interaction nowadays, especially with technology-everyone’s behind a screen.ĭid you pay just as much attention to your diet? But I personally think that the physical training bonded us as well because you’re punching each other you’re stepping over personal spaces and boundaries. The rehearsals were more about an emotional connection, sharing stories and opening up to each other. We all did rehearsals and training together.
