‘The Brutalist’ Star Felicity Jones on the ‘Element of Defiance’ in Her Golden Globe-Nominated Performance and Being Open to a ‘Star Wars’ Return: ‘There’s Unfinished Business’


The British actress is back in the awards race (and already has a Globes nom) 10 years after her Oscar-nominated break in 'The Theory of Everything.'

The British actress is taking in the view at the Barbican, perhaps London’s most famous Brutalist construction and a labyrinthine maze of monolithic blocks and walkways connecting residential units, public spaces and one of the capital’s best-known cultural hubs. Among the leading roles that came in quick-fire fashion after “Theory” was the (also) defiant Jyn Erso in 2016’s “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” Following in the rebellious footsteps of her co-star Diego Luna (whose prequel series “Andor” she hasn’t yet managed to watch — blame the kids), it’s a universe she’d happily return to. Fun.” Her production company Piecrust is on board a graphic-novel adaptation, “100 Nights of Hero,” and is developing a TV series in which she’ll play the head of a family-owned Formula One team.
