It feels like a mere matter of time before Elizabeth Debicki is a household name. The talented Aussie actress, best known for her roles in The Great Gatsby and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is now lending her vocal talents to the world of Peter Rabbit, where she plays the character Mopsy.

Though it’s her future projects which have us intrigued, and when we had the pleasure of interviewing Debicki we discussed them all. We began by chatting about the challenges of voice acting, and whether she grew up as a big fan of the Beatrix Potter books, while she comments on the joy in making a film that can be enjoyed by all members of her family, no matter the age.

Then we got into her future work, discussing her role in Steve McQueen’s eagerly anticipated Widows, while she tells us what it was like embodying the role of Virginia Woolf in Vita and Virginia. Then we ended on a question about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is set to star in – and what it means to be a part of the MCU.

Watch the full interview below…

A battle of wills soon breaks out as the new owner hatches scheme after scheme to get rid of Peter — a resourceful rabbit who proves to be a worthy and wily opponent.
