How Jodie Comer Mastered Her Chicago Accent for ‘The Bikeriders’


Jodie Comer talks about her Chicago accent for Jeff Nichols' 'The Bikeriders' and what she learned about herself from playing the biker bride.

The actor’s Russian accent as psychopathic assassin Villanelle in “Killing Eve” was so good that playwright Suzie Miller nearly passed on her to star in “ Prima Facie ” because the play was written for someone from Liverpool. “The Bikeriders” filmed in October 2022, between the West End and Broadway runs of “Prima Facie,” a powerful one-woman show starring Comer as a brilliant young barrister. Their complicated dynamic — a love triangle of sorts — is the central point of tension in the film, as Kathy and Johnny jockey for position in Benny’s heart.
