The Transformation Of Alice Braga From Childhood To Queen Of The South

Braga is no stranger to the world of science fiction. She starred in the 2010 sci-fi action film "Repo Men" with Jude Law, Forest Whitaker, and Liev Schreiber, in which artificial organs are repossessed once customers can no longer make their scheduled payments for them. Braga played a singer named Beth who had multiple artificial organs herself, and eventually entered a relationship with Law's character, Remy.

That same year, Braga appeared in the sci-fi action flick "Predators," which featured a star-studded ensemble cast including Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Mahershala Ali, Danny Trejo, and Laurence Fishburne. Braga played a sniper from the Israel Defense Forces named Isabelle, and described working with her fellow talented costars to 25 Years Later: "There are so many amazing actors in it. I remember when we were making it, we were making it with the passion of a classic monster film — If you look at the genre, but without judging it. We had fun making it; that's why it was so special to do it."

She also explained why she started to venture into more science fiction and action-based roles, saying "I think it was interesting because those films started coming in my direction and I just wanted to do them because it was so different and far away from the type of movies that I came from that were telling specific social issues in Brazil. I thought it was a nice challenge."
