If you have witnessed Martin Scorsese’s Killer of the Flower MoonI don’t have to tell you that Lily Gladstone is an absolute star. Not only has the actress held her own alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, she’s also one of those talents that I’ll follow anywhere now. But what direction does she want to go in next? Well, I asked the Oscar nominee about it.
Lily Gladstone told me she wanted to make an action film
Lily Gladstone has delivered another incredible performance in Unusual dancewhich is now available to everyone with a Apple TV+ subscription. Similar to Killer of the Flower Moonis a drama set in Oklahoma that tackles important issues facing indigenous communities, even though there is a century between the stories. When CinemaBlend asked the actress what roles she would like to play next, she replied:
Well, I’m currently doing a romantic comedy, which is something I’ve always wanted to do with Bowen Yang and Kelly Marie Tran. It’s being directed by Andrew Ahn, a remake of Ang Lee’s The Wedding Banquet. It’s really fun. I think before this is over and my knees give out, it would be fun to do something action-oriented. And besides, every actor wants a good biopic, so we’ll just see what we can do.
Now the quite Answer has made me very excited, but can I briefly talk about how much I love Lily Gladstone in one of the next best action movies I understand? So far, the actress has shown what a strong presence she can bring to the screen. In Murderer And Unusual danceshe finds herself in pretty powerless situations because the system is sadly under-resourced and doesn’t care about the indigenous community. These roles allow Gladstone to portray the anger and grief of the indigenous people, but as she says herself, I think it would be great to see her in a role where she doesn’t mince her words.
I am already excited about the upcoming Oscar nominations
Lily Gladstone told me she really wants to be in an action movie before her “knees give out completely.” The actress also spoke a little more about what else she’d like to be in. First, I’m obsessed with Gladstone doing a romantic comedy after starring in two dramatic films back to back.
Gladstone plays the lead role in a remake of The wedding banquet from the director behind 2022’s Fire IslandThe film has a solid cast, including war of stars‘ Kelly Marie Tran, Bowen Yang, Joan Chen and Youn Yuh-jung. Gladstone also played in the critically acclaimed Hulu series Under the bridge and is will work with Scorsese again based on an adaptation of The Memory Police.
Additionally, Gladstone mentioned that she would like to do a biopic as well. I could well see the actress finding a really great story about another indigenous woman with a little-told history and delivering another great performance worthy of an Oscar. My main impression of Gladstone is that the sky is the limit and she wants to take on all kinds of roles in the future!
