Kirsten Dunst to star in Civil War

Kirsten Dunst has been cast in the action movie ‘Civil War’ that will be helmed by Oscar-nominated director Alex Garland.

Along with Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Cailee Spaeny, the 39-year-old actress will star in the film directed by Oscar nominee Alex Garland, MarkMeets.com can reveal.

The film is set in a near-future America and is based on Garland’s original screenplay, though narrative specifics are being kept under wraps.

A24 will produce alongside DNA’s Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich, as well as Gregory Goodman, and will be in charge of the film’s global distribution.

Kirsten and her real-life partner Jesse Plemons star in the critically praised film ‘The Power of the Dog,’ and Kirsten detailed how the two worked closely with method acting instructor Greta Seacat to prepare for their parts as Rose and George Burbank, respectively, in the psychological drama.

The star said: “She does a lot of dream work between you and the character to help dig up old things. It’s a really fun process, making yourself feel terrible about yourself.”

The ‘Spider-Man’ actress also revealed how she likes parts to feel like “therapy” between the character and herself.

Kirsten said: “Whenever I do a role, I feel like I’m doing therapy between me and the character I’m playing.

“Rose is very people-pleasing, not wanting to upset her husband about what’s happening. So she turns to alcohol to help her just be in the home, and not worry terribly about her son. But that isolation spins her out, so it was about finding what that is for me.”
