Geraldine Viswanathan’s MCU debut in Jake Schreier’s Thunderbolts* has now placed her in blockbuster territory. Standing out as Mel, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine’s (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) assistant, Viswanathan’s nuanced approach to an “I was just doing my job” character makes the secondary role a memorable one—not unlike Kat Dennings’ Darcy Lewis from the Thor saga. But before stepping into the limelight, Viswanathan starred in an underrated comedy that fell victim to the COVID-19 pandemic wave of underseen theatrical releases.
