Not too long ago, Netflix struck gold as Arnold Schwarzenegger chose the streamer as the home for his new project. Given his history of delivering blockbusters and extended hiatus since the last Terminator movie, his action series, Fubar, wreaked havoc globally, earning the streamer millions in viewership. Things have come full circle for the streamer, especially for its 2021 Mary Elizabeth Winstead movie as Arnold Schwarzenegger takes charge.

The OTT Mogul gave Mary Elizabeth Winstead her own feature film to prove her eating chops long before she starred in the Star Wars mini-series, Ashoka.

After Ashoka, Mary Elizabeth Winstead soars high on the Netflix charts

In the heavily guarded league of actors whose performance is undefeated in striking a chord with the audience, irrespective of the project, is Mary Elizabeth Winstead. After earning herself a fandom in the action genre with her performances in Birds of Prey and Final Destination 3, the actress embarked on another promising journey consisting of action sequences with emotional depth and a stellar plot in 2021 with Kate.

The movie currently streaming on Netflix is a favorite among fans of Mary Elizabeth Winstead. In this role, actress not only had a chance to show her acting chops but also humor.

While its resurgence comes in the wake of Ashoka‘s success, it might also have something to do with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

How Netflix’s Kate is an ode to Arnold Schwarzenegger

That he stands as the Chief Action Officer at Netflix is proof enough of the love and respect the streamer has for him. It chooses almost every occasion to remind audiences of the actor’s contribution to the action genre. So much so that it arranged for the actor to be a part of each one of its hit originals. Therefore, it is possible a Terminator reference in Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Kate could have contributed to its availability on Netflix.

Kate, much like most action movies while intriguing, is woven from the same thread as the other movies in the genre. However, it wins a point through self-awareness, as it acknowledges the similarity on two occasions. Each time through a loaded Terminator reference. The first time consisted of a young Ani saying Kate looks like a cyborg assassin with sunglasses on. And in the second, Mary Elizabeth Winstead mirrors the Terminator himself as she sports one red eye.
