Emma Stone isn’t known for playing vicious characters.
Emma Stone on playing a mean girl in The Favourite, bullying bunnies, and hitting Joe Alwyn in the crotch
The Oscar-winner has spent most of her career portraying cheerful heroines in films like La La Land and The Help. So that’s why it comes as such a nice (and really funny) surprise to see Stone excel in the role of the backstabbing Abigail in The Favourite, which is in theaters now.
The buzzy dark comedy from director Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster) focuses on the battle between Abigail and her cousin Sarah (Rachel Weisz) for the attention and love of Queen Anne (Olivia Colman).
Emma Stone is about getting dark, physical comedy, and, naturally, rabbits.
