Fantasia Wants to Follow ‘The Color Purple’ by Starring in a ‘John Wick’ Movie: ‘I Want Something Where I Can Kick Ass’
As Fantasia Barrino rides the awards season buzz for her feature film acting debut in “The Color Purple,” the “American Idol” winner is thinking of her next moves on the big screen.
“I want something very challenging,” Fantasia told Variety Tuesday night at Elle’s Women in Hollywood event in Los Angeles, where she was honored alongside her co-stars Danielle Brooks and Taraji P. Henson. “I want to step out and do a character you’d probably never think of me as.”
She added with a sinister laugh, “I want you to hate me.”
Fantasia suggests a “John Wick” movie or at least one that’s similar. “Was John Wick a villain?” she asked. “Maybe not, but he was kick-ass. I want something where I can kick ass!”
