• The Lone Ranger with Johnny Depp as Tonto lost me long ago…and, that’s okay…because, now, the casting of a female lead seems perfect.

  On the other hand, being politically correct…unless her character is English…aren’t there American actresses available for what seems to be an American classic story? I sure hope she is not playing Tonto’s sister.

  And, if there is a love interest…is it with JOHNNY DEPP, Tonto, or…THE LONE RANGER, Armie Hammer?

• I was hoping she’d get snatched up by Game of Thrones to play a certain red head, but I guess any higher profile job is well deserved. She’ll be great in it.

• Check her out in the BBC production of Jane Eyre opposite Toby Stephens – she is completely transcendent.

• I have to join the chorus in praising her amazing performance in LUTHER. Elba is deservedly getting Emmy buzz, but why not Wilson?

• I’m sorry if I hurt feelings, but she is the best female acting last year.

  And Toby Stephens deserves a pivotal role in a dramatic film o TV series in USA.

• She’s a very cold actress. A bit of an over actor. Not fussed really. There are much better British actresses to pick

• Whoever said that she is not pretty enough is gay as hell. She’s gorgeous AND a fantastic actress. Her work in Luther is amazing.
