Daniela Melchior as Ratcatcher in The Suicide Squad

Melchior is best known for her recent role in the James Gunn directed The Suicide Squad, where she played the role of Ratcatcher, alongside Margot Robbie and Idris Elba. That film served as her English-language debut, after appearing in many Portuguese-language films and television shows. Melchior has been a busy actress, recently starring in the 2021 drama miniseries Pecado as the lead character of Maria Manuel. Melchior also provided the Portuguese dubbing voice for the character of Gwen Stacy in Sony’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which was originally voiced by Hailee Steinfeld. It will be interesting to see what role Melchior will play in Fast and Furious 10, and how she interacts with the long established cast of franchise characters.

Fast and Furious 10 is bound to catapult Melchior’s acting career even further in Hollywood. Many in the industry and media have already begun calling the young actress the next Gal Gadot. Gadot, who is famously known for playing Wonder Woman in several DC films, had her first major breakout role as Gisele in an earlier Fast and Furious franchise film entry, Fast Five.
