Laura Donnelly’s award-winning performance in Jez Butterworth’s The Ferryman, a play that took the West End and Broadway by storm, is “the gift that keeps on giving”, she says. It landed her the lead in last year’s blockbuster US TV show the Nevers, and it has now paved the way for her to join one of the biggest franchises in popular entertainment: the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Donnelly is starring in Werewolf by Night opposite opposite Gael Garcia Bernal, a real left turn for Marvel. It is a Halloween special in black and white, and is a loving tribute to the classic Universal monster movies of the 1930s.
