Hornet (Bullet Train)

The Hornet (Zazie Beetz) is a supporting antagonist in the 2022 action comedy film Bullet Train, based on Kōtarō Isaka's 2010 dark comedic thriller novel Maria Beetle.
She is an assassin known for her usage of a snake poison, hired by the White Death to infiltrate into a bullet train, kill his son and steal his briefcase. The Hornet was also responsible for the death of the Wolf's wife, leading him to go into the train to find her.
==History==
In the past, the Hornet was assigned to assassinate the leader of a Mexican drug cartel named El Saguano, killing an entire wedding party, except for one man, named the Wolf. The Wolf's wife was also among the dead, so he swears revenge on her. She also kills a neurosurgeon just before he was set to operate the White Death's dying wife, causing the White Death to hire her and get her on the bullet train, so she can be killed by other assassins.
When infiltrating the train, the Hornet disguises herself as a mascot named Momonga and kills the White Death's son as her client demands. She has a short brawl with Ladybug, who are both trying to get the White Death's suitcase, but is knocked out with a punch in the face.
A little later, the Hornet disguises herself as a train crew member and ambushes Ladybug once again. They get into a fight, before Ladybug injects her with her own poison syringe. She tries to give herself the antidote, but Ladybug uses it and Hornet is killed by the poison. Her corpse likely remained in the bar wagon and was presumably damaged when the bullet train gets wrecked at the end.
==Trivia==
*The Hornet is easily the most serious villain of Bullet Train, counting with few comedic moments unlike the rest of the film's villains.
