“in her most perfect British accent, saying she was tired of period pieces, and she really wanted to kick some a**. And then she worked very, very hard. So knowing, they have that willingness is great, but it’s never been a requirement. It’s been about ‘Let’s find the person who makes this character come to life.'”
However, the Black Mirror actress’ dream came true, when she joined Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible franchise, where her dream of “kicking some a**” came true, as she stepped into her biggest role as she had waited 17 years for this moment.

And so I have this eternal gratitude to Tom and to McQ, who provided the resources and the support system every day on set so that I could thrive. It’s been a deliverance of a long time coming.
