I feel like this is her only quote, poor woman.

I mean, she adorable but not a very good actress

I wish her well.

I feel badly for her because everyone else has been in stuff afterwards.

What I’ve noticed of big franchises but particularly from the MCU ones is that you’re fine if you already have a career prior to signing up for one.

You see people like Robert Downey Jr, Angela Bassett, Oscar Issac etc…etc do the big franchise films and still good work but that’s because they already have career/hits/acclaim.

Whereas newcomers start with these movies and are mostly known for this which results in typecasting or fewer offers. It’s not every actor who’ll have a Harrison Ford career boost after a Star Wars-like movie.

Harrison Ford had already done Indiana Jones so he was known for that, but Mark Hamill has said he wasn't getting that many offers after Star Wars.

He did Star Wars first then Indiana Jones Came. The first Indiana Jones came after Empire Strikes Back a year later.

First Star Wars came out in 1977 and first Indiana comes in 1981.

By the time she came around franchise films seem looked down on by casting agents.

But you also have to put in the work still and cant wait for the offer.
