Emma Mackey Joins Glen Powell, Jenna Ortega In J.J. Abrams’ Mystery Film For Warner Bros
deadline.comBAFTA winner Emma Mackey (Barbie) is set to star opposite new A-listers Glen Powell and Jenna Ortega in J.J. Abrams‘ still-untitled mystery movie for Warner Bros and his Bad Robot, Deadline has learned.
Mackey’s role is under wraps, as is the film’s plot, though we hear it’s not a time-travel film, as some have conjectured. Abrams will direct from his own script, with Bad Robot producing.
A 2023 recipient of BAFTA’s Rising Star Award, Mackey has most recently seen in Greta Gerwig’s Oscar-winning Warner Bros phenom Barbie, prior to that taking on the lead as famed novelist and poet Emily Brontë in Frances O’Connor’s Warner Bros drama Emily.
Breaking out with her role as Maeve Wiley on Netflix’s Sex Education, Mackey has also previously been seen in Kenneth Branagh’s Death on the Nile.
