There have been several actors and musicians who have been called “one-hit wonders”. Due to a plethora of factors, their careers often reach a peak and fall back again. The lead actress in Zack Snyder’s flop movie had a similar story.
Emily Browning, who was once known for being an iconic actress in Hollywood, is now actively seeking to avoid it. The only reason she stated in an interview was related to the allegedly unchecked sexism.
Emily Browning Has Something to Say
It’s not uncommon for Hollywood actresses to speak out against the alleged sexism in the industry. However, no actress has said it likeEmily Browningdid in her interview.
Starring in films likeSucker Punch(a flop by Zack Snyder, btw),Sleeping Beauty, Legend,and more, Browning was quite famous in the early 2010s. However, over time, the actress started appearing in fewer and fewer Hollywood films.

In a 2015 interview withThe Guardian, Browning, who was already known for her comments on the film industry, went on an all-out war. Her statements were quite controversial as she said that“Hollywood movies are made for white men”!
I’m so determined not to play the hot babe that doesn’t say anything, that can’t have an opinion, but it’s so difficult to resist all of that. Hollywood movies are made for white men, and that’s something I think about and which bothers me all the time.
However, Browning wasn’t all negative about Hollywood. In fact, in an earlier interview, the actress really liked working with veteran director Zack Snyder inSucker Punch.

Emily Browning Loved Zack Snyder’sSucker Punch
In 2011, the world was introduced to the character of Baby Doll. The film follows the story of Baby Doll, who is waiting for brain surgery at a mental asylum. Reality and fantasy intertwine in this iconic film as Snyder proves his masterful creativity once again.
However, the film didn’t exactly receive great reviews from audiences as well as critics.Sucker Punchbecame one of the worst flopped movies of Snyder as people alleged that the movie was unfaithfully review-bombed.
In the film, Browning portrayed the lead role of Baby Doll. During a promotional interview for the film, the actress revealed toThe Georgia Straightthat she was very happy with the story of the film.
It’s something I’ve never seen before: strong female characters. There’s none of the false kind of cattiness that Hollywood sort of believes is innate to all females.
She continued,
I can’t stand that girl-hate culture. I think it’s so unnecessary and so outdated.
Despite her high regard for the film,Sucker Punchfailed at the global box office collections. According toIMDb, the film earned a total of $89 million at the global box officeagainst an estimated budget of $82 million.
