- While you might not know Jayme Lawson’s name, you know her work - or you will. You saw her play the new mayor in Matt Reeves’ The Batman. Then there were her turns as a young Michelle Obama in The First Lady and as one of John Boyega’s wives in The Woman King. She also starred in Ekwa Msangi’s Farewell Amor and will do the same in Daniel Goldhaber’s upcoming film, How to Blow Up a Pipeline.
I caught up with the busy Lawson - who is now appearing as Myrlie Evers (Medgar Evers’ wife) in director Chinonye Chukwu’s Till - before she headed to Atlanta to start playing Betty Shabazz in Genius: MLK/X. During our wide-ranging conversation, she talked about the importance of telling the tragic true story of Emmett Till, the boy who was lynched while visiting his cousins in Mississippi in 1955. She also opened up about watching Danielle Deadwyler’s fantastic performance as Mamie Till-Mobley up close, what she learned from working with Viola Davis, how Matt Reeves changed her life, and how she’s balancing playing all those strong women.
Watch what she had to say in the player above, or you can read our conversation below.

this sister is gorgeous 😍
She absolutely is!!
For real though
She’s very beautiful
Jayme Lawson would make the perfect, 'STORM.' When I first saw her in the Batman, I said to myself, that's STORM! Even though her scenes were short her role was so commanding. Mrs. Lawson is such an excellent actress, she personifies so much strength expression, interpretation and depth of character in her roles and as a woman, very mature, her voice is full of confidence and so much more. Hope holly weird cast her as STORM, in a solo MCU movie.
Beautiful strong woman
Beautiful woman there!!
She needs to play Storm! Marvel, get it done!
I totally agree with you! 😃👍
The Batman is one of the best films ever made.
The Woman King is one of the most mediocre films I will never watch.
Oh well you may want to check The Woman King out. It's is AWESOME!
How can you classify it as mediocre if you’ve never watched it? 😂
