Marianne Jean-Baptiste stars as Pansy in the new film Hard Truths .

The actress first worked with Mike Leigh nearly 30 years ago , when they made 1996 's Secrets & Lies .

The film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and landed five Oscar nominations.

It's difficult in the best possible way of creating a character, but it's like a superpower in the end.

I think all of the actors were able to have sympathy for Pansy , which was, I think, a win.

I would really like to play, like, a Bond baddie, or just an evil genius, she says.
