We have a new role for Samantha Morton (Mary Lou Barebone) next. She has joined the cast of She Said, a film surrounding the reporters who helped to expose Harvey Weinstein. Morton will play Weinstein's former assistant Zelda Perkins, who faced his abuse but found herself silenced by NDAs. Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman) and Zoe Kazan (The Kindness of Strangers) have already been announced as portraying journalists Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor in the film. We'll keep you updated as we learn more about the movie!
We've also got a new role for Zoë Kravitz (Leta Lestrange). She will star in and serve as executive producer for Phatty Patty, a show that is based on the experiences of its creator, India Sage Wilson, growing up as a biracial girl. The story is inspired by Wilson's journey of self-acceptance and centers around a fourth-grader called Patty. The animated series doesn't have a release date yet, but we'll tell you when it does.
Last up this week is a deeper look into Gemma Chan's (Madam Ya Zhou) superhero persona. She takes on the role of Sersi in Marvel Studios' upcoming film Eternals. The film's plot will focus mainly on Sersi, who can manipulate non-sentient matter. She enjoys spending time with humanity, and according to Chan, "She's sort of helped humanity along the way, in little ways." At the time of the film, she's actually dating a human museum creator (played by Game of Thrones star Kit Harington), although she has a history with a fellow Eternal, Ikaris. Chan has also described Sersi as "very grounded" and "a little bit of a free spirit." We can't wait to see her in action!
