(Note: The interview took place before the Screen Actors Guild strike began.)
In an interview with Empire, Corrin discussed the upcoming mystery-thriller series, A Murder At The End Of The World, from the creators of The OA. She was drawn to work with Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, praising their unique approach to storytelling and their ability to capture relevant themes ahead of their time. Corrin said, “I think they’re incredibly original. I almost feel like between them, they possess this second sight. It’s kind of spooky.” Corrin added, “They are both a bit psychic in the way that they can feel things around them in the world, put pen to paper and capture something that’s in the ether, and almost predict it. To think they were writing this maybe five years ago… it’s so ahead of its time and covers so much of what we’re dealing with now in terms of our existential dread and a world where technology plays a major part of our lives.”
Corrin also revealed her villain character in ‘Deadpool 3.’ She was cast after the director, Shawn Levy, saw her in a stage production of Virginia Woolf’s Orlando. The project details were kept secret, but Corrin eagerly met with Levy, not knowing what it was about.
