Q: This was your first lead role in a film, how was the experience?
MARYSE: It was amazing, I was very excited about making the film but also very nervous because having a lead role is no joke! Even though I have been working live TV with WWE for a long time and I have been performing in front of live audiences, i was still super nervous! It’s very different to be on a movie set! I love it!! It’s crazy to think that 7 years ago I couldn’t speak english, and now I’m in a movie as the lead character! It’s definitely a dream come true!
Q: You worked with Asylum before on a Sharknado film! How was this shoot different?
MARYSE: Filming Sharknado was fun but totally different, I had one scene in Sharknado and I am in almost every scene in Isle Of The Dead!
Q: Any interesting anecdotes to share about filming Isle?
MARYSE: The tunnels were really scary at times, very dark and the heat was a killer, and I think i still have dirt in my hair – so much fighting in the jungles!
Q: Were you able to include any of your bad-ass signature moves in the fight sequences?
MARYSE: I love fight scenes, I got to hit my french kiss DDT in the movie, its my most powerful finisher in WWE!
Q: We know your fans love seeing you in anything, but do you think Isle will appeal to them for other reasons, as well?
MARYSE: My fans know me as WWE Maryse, so it’s going to be fun for them to see me as Mikaela Usylvich – a military train CIA agent that specializes in Virus and bio-weapons!
