Sandra Oh as Mrs. White

Though the character of Mrs. White has seen many different changes over the years in regard to the board game, in the movie adaptation of Clue, she’s portrayed as a neurotic woman mixed up in some very illegal activities. And she’s played to perfection in the original by Madeline Kahn. (If you haven’t seen the “flames” scene, you haven’t lived.)

That being said, someone has to take on the role, and we think that Sandra Oh would make a perfect Mrs. White. Whether you know her from Grey’s Anatomy or Killing Eve, you know that Sandra Oh has some pretty impressive comedic chops, but she also knows how to play it serious when she needs to.

Most importantly, however, Sandra Oh has proven that she has great chemistry when she’s playing opposite other femme fatales, which is a must-have given the nature of the relationship between Mrs. White and Miss Scarlet in the film.
