Amy Adams as Tonya?

I dunno... I feel like Amy would've fit the role better than Margot. Her facial feature matches closer to the real Tonya than anything. Just look at her 1991/1993/1994 championship skates and look at her face. Seems to fit Amy more imo. What do you think?

Any is too old for the part. Present-day Tonya OK, 1994 Tonya no.

No it wasn't Amy, it was margot

I don't think so, i love Amy but Margot was perfect for this imo.

She's great in the clips. I kind of want to see, in part because of her, even though I don't care at all about figure skating.

The problem with Amy is that although facially she looks like her, performance wise, from what I've seen her in, she's much meeker and delicate. I just don't buy her as pulling off Tonya's cut throat personality. I think what Margot gets right is the manipulative and kinda rough aura that Tonya has. Although I feel the movie didn't do a good enough job of getting Tonya's polarizing nature down right.

BOTH AMY'S...SCHUMER AND Adams could've pulled it off. With coaching

She's a bit old now but tenish years ago she could have done it.
