Fan Casting Sarkoja in Jon Favreau's John Carter of Mars

The "lovely serpent" of the Tharks, Sarkoja is Tal Hajus's most trusted advisor and a creature of pure, calculating cruelty. With controlled venom—every word a blade, every smile a threat. She despises the "red men" of Helium and views Dejah Thoris as a plaything for her king. Her schemes drive much of the palace intrigue, and her cold intelligence makes her more dangerous than any warrior. A masterclass in villainy: ice-cold, fiercely intelligent, and utterly without mercy, until her grisly end at the jaws of Issla worms.
