The actress, renowned for her portrayal of Wanda Maximoff/ Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise, humorously added, ‘I surprisingly enjoy playing characters that make questionable decisions!’
Plemons, who is married to actress Kirsten Dunst, pondered on the ‘added pressure’ of portraying a real individual, describing it as an ‘unusual sensation.’
Elizabeth expressed her satisfaction in working with the Emmy winner and emphasized the fortunate opportunity they had for rehearsals, considering it a ‘luxury’ that enabled them to thoroughly discuss their roles before shooting.
‘As our characters were just embarking on an affair, we were still getting to know each other as actors and individuals,’ she jokingly remarked.

Regarding the progress of shooting, Elizabeth firmly declared, ‘Not at all!’

Scheduled to be released on April 27th, her new series, Love and Death, delves into the true story of Candy Montgomery, a Texan housewife who used an axe to kill her church friend Betty Gore in 1980.

The Texas Monthly articles, which first appeared in 1984, ultimately uncovered the shocking truth that Montgomery engaged in an extramarital affair with Gore’s husband before brutally murdering Betty with 41 axe blows.
The book Evidence of Love, published in 1984, was previously adapted into a TV movie called A Killing In a Small Town in 1990. This film earned Barbara Hershey critical acclaim, as she portrayed Candy Morrison, a character inspired by Candy Montgomery, and won both a Golden Globe and an Emmy for her performance.
Sarah Aubrey, the Head of Original Content at HBO Max, described the story as a captivating tale that explores the frustrations and desires of two women in a small town, leading up to a horrific act of violence.
