History Creator / EvaGreen

** She turned down a role in ''Film/{{Wonder Woman|2017}}'' and was replaced by Spanish actress Elena Anaya.

* AuthorAppeal: Is quite fond of witches and the occult, hence her roles in ''Film/TheGoldenCompass'', ''Series/{{Camelot}}'', ''Film/DarkShadows'' and ''Series/PennyDreadful''.

* FunnyCharacterBoringActor: [[invoked]] Has a tendency to play kooky or charismatic DeadpanSnarker characters. Green describes herself as a ShrinkingViolet, and often comes across as very aloof.

* PlayingWithCharacterType: [[invoked]] Morgan Pendragon in ''Series/{{Camelot}}'' is within type for her - supernatural IceQueen. But it's Green's only real outwardly evil role - as Morgan murders innocent people, kidnaps her stepmother and [[spoiler: eventually rapes her brother]].
* PromotedFanboy: [[invoked]] She's a Creator/TimBurton fan, and got to work with him in ''Film/DarkShadows'' and ''Literature/MissPeregrinesHomeForPeculiarChildren''. She also worked with Creator/JohnnyDepp in the former, and she's a fan of him too.

* TypeCasting: [[invoked]] Green tends to play dark and troubled characters, often with a supernatural element to them. Earlier on in her career, she was playing {{Femme Fatale}}s, something she was not happy about.

* RomanceOnTheSet: [[invoked]] She dated Martin Csokas, who played her husband in ''Film/KingdomOfHeaven''.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Serafina Pekkala is blonde in the books but Eva plays her as a brunette in ''Film/TheGoldenCompass''. Ironic because Eva is a natural blonde.

* DyeHard: [[invoked]] Eva is naturally blonde but has been dyeing her hair brown since she was a teenager.

She does have a slight reputation for being interested in [[LeFilmArtistique small, arthouse productions]], [[FemmeFatale dark roles]], and does tend to [[MsFanservice take her kit off]] in those as well.

* BritishAccents: Originally started off with a thick French accent but - as she starred in more Hollywood movies (and played several IAmVeryBritish characters), the accent faded. So she now sounds British to most people, though does still retain some French pronunciations.
