Here she is along with Tom Hanks and Liam and Chris Hemsworth in a trailer for Bitman Begins, the “where are they now” story of Charlie bit my finger (skip the add by jumping to the :22 mark):
Spoofing Sweet Brown, here’s Queen Latifah as Brown, Barkhad Abdi as a young Barak Obama, Adam Driver and Matt Damon (again, jump to :22):
