While promoting ‘The Bikeriders,’ actress Jodie Comer spoke on her next projects as well as reflecting back on her ‘almost’ casting roles.

Comer has three upcoming high-profile jobs in production which includes Danny Boyle’s ‘28 Years Later,’ Kenneth Branagh’s ‘The Last Disturbance Of Madeline Hynde,’ and Michael Sarnoski’s ‘The Death of Robin Hood,’ co-starring Hugh Jackman.

Comer commented on Boyle’s much anticipated sequel to ‘28 Days Later (2002)’ and ‘28 Weeks Later (2007),’ in which Alex Garland (‘Civil War,’ ‘Annihilation’) penned the latest instalment (to be a trilogy).

“It’s a brilliant script. It’s just so brilliant to be working with Danny and Alex and being on set with Danny and the crew. They’re all so innovative and excitable and playful,” the actress said. “I feel so fortunate to be working with Danny. I would work with him for the rest of my life if I had any say in that.”

During George Miller’s recent press tour for ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,’ the visionary filmmaker confirmed that he once had an “exploratory” conversation with Jodie Comer about playing a younger Furiosa (the role ultimately landing with Anya Taylor-Joy).

“Of course [it was flattering]. Everyone admires his work. It is so bold and distinct, and I can’t wait to see the movie. But it is such a privilege when you get to speak with these directors in whatever capacity, even just to pick their brains or tell them that you admire their work or ask them certain questions. So, yeah, George Miller is definitely one of those people,” Comer said.
