Michelle Rodriguez aims to work with rebels in this industry, and she’s also a true rebel herself. Over the years, Rodriguez has solidified herself as an undeniable force in Hollywood both on screen and behind the scenes via her determination to fight for herself and for the characters she plays. That right there is the definition of an ideal Collider Ladies Night guest. A personal bucket list guest, in fact.
Rodriguez carved out the time for an appearance on the show in celebration of her newest release, Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Rodriguez plays Holga Kilgore in the movie, a barbarian who’s been exiled by her tribe and now lives and steals alongside Chris Pine’s Edgin Darvis. In an effort to pull off an epic heist and snag a lost relic, Holga and Edgin form a party of unlikely heroes and embark on a journey filled with creatures, spells, delightful cameos, and an especially chilling Red Wizard (Daisy Head).
Hear all about Rodriguez’s journey from Karyn Kusama’s Girlfight to Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves on this edition of Collider Ladies Night!

🌹♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍
great interview perri
This was so cool to get to hear her voice. Great interview!!!
She is still to this day one of my biggest crushes of all time. She is the absolute perfect combination of smart, funny, SUPER HOT and nerdy!
This was simply awesome!!!
I was a big Collider fan maybe five or more years ago, and these days I only kinda slip on a Perri placed tweet banana peel onto this channel on youtube. It's funny to hear Rodriguez land on a point about reverse engineering and numbers and caring, when the reason I got fed up with Collider was the absolutely robotic way it kept shoving shows and people around, hacking up the various channels to maximise engagement, double down on absolutely soul sucking, mind melting deepfake videos and shutting down ones with genuine heart.
When Perri nods about it I'm not so naive as to think she's doing it with regards to Collider, but… I mean… It would not be unfair to do so. :>
Anyhoo, Michelle Rodriguez is awesome and Perri is awesome, and I'll gladly follow a link to where they are, even when the youtube channel is the ghostly apparition of something I used to really like. 😀
My girl crush 😍
Michelle Rodriguez is definitely on point because we’re so many people like me and her played current stereotypes in cinema. I’m very happy she’ll get to pick roles for her and stand on her ground can’t wait to see Fast X and other projects alone with it.
YESSSSSS. MR is such a legend the exact kind of actress i love ladies night for highlighting. LOVE the widows questions
🌎
✨️🌟⭐️☀️🌞💫
love her 😍
This interview is the best! Thanks, Perri 😃
So, Perri, have you ever met one of the coolest chicks in the world, yet? Yes you have, in Michelle Rodriguez.
I thought michelle was from texas
Wow,she really rocks,great interview,first time I have heard Michelle speak like this
Hahahaha she's so real I'm watching all her interviews ❤️
Who did she piss off? Gish I wanna know everything now. I bet she told Harvey Weinstein type people off. I'm so glad she's back in a big way. Loved her ever since resident evil days ❤
I thought collider was a hasbeen, after the mass layoff a few years ago…glad to see it starting to come back…
Michelle Rodriguez has kept it 100 all these years I love this woman 💯
She has been my girl crush as a thirty-seven-year-old man since girlfight resident evil SWAT you name it she is a badass gangster 💯💯💯💯🥰
Always loved Michelle. She seems even better than I thought.
Wow! She is absolutely fantastic. Very articulate and thoughtful answers. I want to hangout with Michelle Rodriguez! Haha
Such a Kool lady
Love the fact that she won't compromise her morals
Damn right!
I'd work with Michelle any day of the damn week. Love this lady
I get it. Michelle is a meat & potatoes type actress.
Damn. She makes more sense than the big wigs of the industry
Fucking A Michelle!
Michelle is so damn cool. I’ve liked her in every movie I’ve seen her in, even Resident Evil. It’s good to have standards and a strong moral compass, it can’t be easy doing that in Hollywood. Respect.
Glad she crossed over to acting. She has great onscreen presence
It's funny because she got to play the soft card in RESIDENT EVIL 5, where she played a minivan liberal mom version of her RESIDENT EVIL 1 self. I wonder if she asked to play it that way.
Wow! This interview was so impressive. I didn't know Michelle's backstory. She's quite amazing! Thanks you for this candid interview with really thoughtful and interesting questions. So awesome!
Ayyo, this interview is actually LIT. Well done and thank you to you both
Lucia Rijker did fight a man called Somchai Jaidee but lost, it was her only defeat in her career. There was an exhibition match between Jackie Tonawanda a female boxer who beat a kickboxer called Larry Rodania in what was his only ever fight, although she lost her only professional match against a woman and some said at the time that the male fight was rigged. Jackie's real victory was against the state of New York and their ban on female boxing. She took then to court and was one of the first 3 women to be granted a boxing licence after the ban was overturned.
