Pom Klementieff shares 'Mission Impossible 7' villains' inspirations

Pom Klementieff opened up about her antagonist inspirations for the Mission Impossible 7 role.

The 37-year-old listed Quentin Tarantino, Bruce Lee, and Jackie Chan as her inspiration in the interview to Variety.

“Quentin Tarantino is one of my favorite directors, so of course I always watch “Kill Bill.” I watched movies with Bruce Lee, with Jackie Chan and some French movies as well, because it was not just about the fight and the physicality — it was also the way the character walks.”

The Guardians of the Galaxy comtinued, “I was inspired by movies with Jean-Paul Belmondo to find a cockiness to the character. And movies with Clint Eastwood, Takeshi Kitano, all these beautiful characters that barely speak but convey so many emotions as well.”

The actor also weighed in on the intrigue of her character, saying, "She's a pretty mysterious character that doesn’t speak much, but the beauty of it is that when she speaks, everyone listens."

Adding, "My character, I think, is on a path of destruction and she’s a very skilled fighter... But there is also an underlying feeling of betrayal and of loneliness from being an orphan, so there’s a deep wound underneath
