        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mireille Enos took matters into her own hands (and fists) for her brutal fight scenes on &#8220;Hanna.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I do my own stunts,&#8221; says Enos, 44, who portrays Marissa Weigler, the rogue CIA operative allied with Hanna (Esme Creed-Miles) <strong>in Season 2 of the Amazon drama</strong>, just renewed for a third season.</p><p>&#8220;They have an incredible stunt team, these amazing women I was training with, and they were teaching me the fights and giving me meticulous notes,&#8221; she says. &#8220;But everything was in my grasp so I was able to do it</p><p>&#8220;I study martial arts myself and it&#8217;s a perpetual training course &#8230; keeping those skills honed,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I do tae kwon do, which is different from the [fight scenes] style of the show &#8230; so before we started filming I spent a couple of weeks meeting with [the stunt team] two or three times a week to establish the movements.</p><p>&#8220;As the scripts arrived, we would address how the fight scenes were choreographed and rehearse them separately to make sure I was up to speed.&#8221;</p><figure id="attachment_16001243"  class="wp-caption aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/hanna.jpeg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/07/hanna.jpeg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/hanna.jpeg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>&#8220;Hanna.&#8221;</span><span class="credit">Amazon Prime Video</span></figcaption></figure><p>Weigler spends much of the season bruised, bloodied and stitched up as she and Hanna attempt to infiltrate &#8212; and destroy &#8212; UTRAX, the black-bag CIA operation tasked with turning young women into cold-blooded assassins with specific targets. It&#8217;s headed by Weigler&#8217;s nominal boss, John Carmichael (Dylan McDermott); when the season begins, he&#8217;s unsure where Marissa&#8217;s loyalties lie. That&#8217;s soon made crystal-clear.</p><p>&#8220;At the beginning of Season 2 [Marissa] is creating a cover story for herself, to keep herself clean in the eyes of the CIA,&#8221; Enos says. &#8220;That might have been the end of the story, except that Carmichael shows up with inside information about UTRAX and is trying to pull her back in. I think it becomes clear pretty quickly to Marissa that she just feels the need to protect Hanna if that&#8217;s possible.</p><figure id="attachment_16001244"  class="wp-caption aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/hanna-01.jpeg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/07/hanna-01.jpeg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/hanna-01.jpeg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>&#8220;Hanna.&#8221;</span><span class="credit">Amazon Prime Video</span></figcaption></figure><p>&#8220;Hanna asks her, &#8216;Why are you helping me?&#8217; and she says, &#8216;I don&#8217;t know.&#8217; And I think that&#8217;s true,&#8221; she says. &#8220;It&#8217;s mysterious, even to Marissa, but she&#8217;s hit some wall where she cannot be a part of Janna&#8217;s destruction.&#8221;</p><p>In the Season 2 finale (no spoilers!), Marissa makes it clear what&#8217;s in store for next season as she and Hanna continue their mission.</p><p>&#8220;We definitely built an ending that was optimistic,&#8221; Enos says. &#8220;I&#8217;m glad it worked out. We did feel optimistic [about another season] but with the pandemic, everything is up in the air.</p><p>&#8220;For Amazon to go ahead and renew the show is really a comfort.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
