LOS ANGELES, April 18 — Ten days out from the US debut of Avengers: Infinity War and we now know that Carrie Coon will play spear-wielding alien supervillain Proxima Midnight.
Directorial duo Joe and Anthony Russo revealed a number of the actors and actresses behind some of the special effect characters in April 27 Marvel ensemble Avengers: Infinity War.
Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (Love/Hate) plays Ebony Maw, Terry Notary (Kong in Kong: Skull Island) plays Cull Obsidian — a name change for comic book character Black Dwarf — and Coon plays Proxima Midnight, the brothers confirmed.
Coon led season three of Fargo, receiving an Emmy nomination for her work, collected Gold Derby and Critics’ Choice TV Awards for The Leftovers, and was part of the cast for Gillian Flynn adaptation and four-time Golden Globe nominee Gone Girl.
Avengers: Infinity War is the second of four scheduled feature film appearances for Carrie Coon in 2018, following Danny McBride and Josh Brolin outdoor comedy adventure The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter which debuted at SXSW in March, with sci-fi movie Kin set for August and another Flynn-derived thriller, gangland crime drama Widows, due mid-November. — AFP-Relaxnews
