Amazon's new sci-fi drama The Power takes place in a not-so-distant future where teen girls suddenly develop the power to electrocute people at will.
Toni Collette plays Margot Cleary-Lopez, the high-strung mayor of Seattle, with John Leguizamo as her grounded husband. Already stressed out from the sexism she faces at work, things take a turn for the worst when unexplained electrical fires and accidents erupt all over the city – and her oldest daughter Jos develops a supernatural power that she can barely control. Total Film sat down with the duo to talk chemistry, empowerment, and playing someone a little different.
