7. Sandra Oh

If you’ve never seen Grey’s Anatomy, it’s worth it for Sarah Oh alone. She played Dr. Cristina Yang -a doctor who didn’t take any mess from anyone. She was a determined character, capable of terrifying almost everyone on the show.

Oh won multiple awards for her performances on Grey’s Anatomy as well as Killing Eve and she more than deserved them. She put on performances that many actors wish they could have. And it’s quite easy to envision her becoming a dictator queen in the Skrull Empire.

She doesn’t have to yell. Just adopt the same kind of undisturbed, determination that she exhibited in Grey’s Anatomy. So when she does something intense or evil, it’ll add more to the scene because she’s so good at making us believe it.

Gina Torres, MCU

6. Gina Torres

Gina Torres is flat out underrated. If you’ve seen her in Firefly or Suits, you’re undoubtedly aware that she can pull off being intimidating very well. When she speaks, she commands respect. If she gave an order in Firefly, she sounded like a leader. That’s the kind of person you need in charge.

When the eventual big fight happens with, Gina Torres’ Veranke would stand tall (literally absolutely figuratively). She’d believably motivate her troops during the final battle. For another image, picture her sitting on a throne while all of the Skrulls bow to her in admiration. That is one heck of an image.
