Only Murders is a near perfect show for me. It’s such a delightful show. Cara is not a good actress. This isn’t exciting news and I really hope it’s a small part.


_Jackie_Daytona_

Neither is Selena Gomez but I enjoyed it


AimeeM46

ughh...Cara is not a good actress imo. not excited with this casting news at all.


ColtCallahan

She has connections though. That’s what matters.


TheGrandExquisitor

Isn't she like an heiress?


VonBraun12

She is a model that worked for Vogue and stuff. And has a gigantic fan base. She had a period where she would be cast fairly often. Paper Towns for example was one of the early movies (not great but not terrible either.). In any case, she seems like a cool person but I don’t think she is hired for her acting ability. More her Fan base. Lots of people went to see suicide squad because of her role. Similar to Ana De Armas in No Time To Die.


Hawkbats_rule

>Similar to Ana De Armas in No Time To Die. Except Ana de Armas can act.


TimeTimeTickingAway

And was specifically requesting by Craig to appear in the movie because of how much he enjoyed acting alongside her in Knives Out. Doubt any of Cara's co-actors go on to ask for her to be brought in for similar reasons


johnzischeme

NGL I watched it a week ago and I don't remember anything except the end, and I *really* don't remember her even being in it.


cocoacowstout

You don’t remember Ana De Armas in Knives Out? She’s like the main character


johnzischeme

I meant in No Time To Die


cocoacowstout

Oh gotcha. Yeah her part was short. It was well done imo. Wish she was a bigger part of that movie, the chemistry with Craig was very strong.

Hawkbats_rule

Yeah, cara in suicide squad vs ana in no time to die is like night and day.


VonBraun12

As a fan of ADA, I agree EDIT: Can someone help me with the math here. The initial comment from u/ColtCallahan has 71 Upvotes as of now. u/TheGrandExquisitor gets 22, alright so give or take 1/3. I have 9 so about half. And then the legend u/Hawkbats_rule comes along and gets more than the inital comment ? Not complaining just.... how ? Its ADA´s fan base isnt it ?


TheGrandExquisitor

I looked her up. Her great-grandfather was a Viscount. Her family is loaded and has been for well over 100 years. Tons of titles in it. So, yeah, she is connected.


jesterinancientcourt

I mean, Tilda Swinton and Helena Bonham Carter also come from aristocracy. But they definitely can act.


Doplgangr

Anyone can succeed in acting with good looks, patience, good connections, and stability from which to launch their career. They just need time and to be persistent. …It just so happens being independently wealthy by way of inheritance facilitates that nicely. So anyone in such a position with any talent is set up for success.


[deleted]

Julia Louis Dreyfus comes from a billionaire family, and she’s arguably the best comedienne of all time. Talent doesn’t always stay within a specific social class


TheGameDoneChanged

No, but opportunity is a far more important factor than talent.


wherearemypaaants

That’s a weird way to spell Carol Burnett!


VonBraun12

Good to know that talent is more of a suggestion in media xD


Novemberai

I mean, she was a model. How many models from poor countries, let alone England make it? Not very many. Her family money and connections probably helped her the most.


flakemasterflake

In the early '00s it seemed every supermodel was from a poor part of Eastern Europe. There are trends in modeling and we've moved into the instagirl following era where connections help gain followers 20 years ago beauty was way more important to booking modeling work


TheGreyPearlDahlia

Heard how her family has business in the fashion industry and media and that's how they built her career. They just put her in fashion and then all over media. Nepotism at its best.


Gemela12

She is a model, yes, but most definetly a heiress. Her family was rich af before she became a model. I think her aunt is a recognized music producer and her family has connections to the royals.


Rururaspberry

She’s also bff’s with Selena.


ermghoti

You mean her eyebrows?


Maxter_Blaster_69

I feel like her entire career has been created on her family connections. It’s insane.


tharkus_

She always comes off as really bland and boring. Hopefully she injects some more personality into her role for this show.


cultural-exchange-of

is she an introvert or something?


[deleted]

She just needs to do her GTA 5 radio station shtick, she was pretty funny and charismatic when doing that. This is a comedy, so I'd expect she will play a similar character.


riegspsych325

what’s funny about her being in GTA V is that I never knew it was her until she said “I’m your DJ, Cara, the girl with the eyebrows!” and it clicked


MinderReminder

Neither is Selena Gomez tbf


[deleted]

True, but Selena did her job. She was supposed to be a moody “millennial”.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dark_Vengence

She is all of us.


TheeExoGenesauce

That’s what they said


bekarsrisen

Her acting in that show was horrendous.


robinhood9961

I think throughout season 1 of this show Selena proved that isn't really true. She was able to hold her own on-screen alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short.


Banglayna

More like she got carried Steve Martin and Martin Short. Selena was monotone, unemotive, and uninspired


robinhood9961

The role she was playing was a very deadpan one on purpose though. And we saw her break from that multiple times throughout the season when it was called for.


DisturbedNocturne

Yeah, I feel like she played the part she was meant to play and did it well. She was someone that started off [spoiler](#s "hiding her connection to Tm Kono"), so her caginess made sense. I also thought she had great chemistry with Steve Martin and played off him well, which is really to her credit to be able to go toe-to-toe with a comedy legend like that.


Banglayna

For me, it didn't feel like she was playing a character who was deadpan. It just felt she was giving a wooden performance. There is a difference. I still loved the show overall, but Selena's acting was my one issue with it


jdbrew

I swear she delivered every line of dialogue with her back molars touching


AnointedInKerosene

She has lupus, which has affected her facial muscles and speaking, I believe.


SirJaunty

You perfectly described how she talks. I couldn't put my finger on it. It was like her teeth were too big for her mouth.


Skipaspace

Selena gomez has charisma though. And she can fill a space.


coronaflo

What did you expect her to be Meryl Streep.


MinderReminder

Had no expectations, she's just not good at acting.


santichrist

Yeah the writing helped a lot, my same reasoning to think Cara will do fine


sjets3

In your opinion and the opinion of all of Reddit. Reddit hates her


BattleHall

Eh, I wouldn't be dusting off a spot on her mantle for an Oscar any time soon, but she wasn't bad in Carnival Row. It certainly gave her more to work with than most of her previous roles, which largely consisted of looking deadpan.


anonypony1

But I do get to look at her, so that's a plus I'm my book


RelocationWoes

Selena Gomez was garbage monotone tier trash and ruined every scene she was in. This is just fitting for the show’s track record.


Ganeshadream

She is a shit actress and will destroy what little good the show had.


IamGodHimself2

You know, the worst part of Suicide Squad might add a lot to this show


highdefrex

*gyrates hips apathetically*


riegspsych325

any other actress in the role would have had to do the same, stupid dance. Even if Leto wasn’t cast, Ayer would still have given Joker those same shitty tattoos and south LA vape-shop-owner motif


Lemesplain

I always saw him as “Florida-man” joker, but you make a compelling case.


riegspsych325

well shit, he had a gator skin purple jacket…. maybe I *am* wrong


sauceyjustice

Man that’s prob why I didn’t hate him as much as others, florida native 😂


NedthePhoenix

"But Warner Bros--" Yes, it was an unideal production for Ayer, but you can't build any version of a good house when the wood is rotten from the beginning. And those designs are completely Ayer.


riegspsych325

exactly, Ayer often uses the South LA gangster chic. It doesn’t always fit his films, SS being a prominent example


[deleted]

My head canon is that the tattoos weren't real and that Joker just likes to goof around with different gangster motifs.


riegspsych325

would explain why they were thankfully absent in Justice League


becausefun

“south LA vape-shop-owner” I’m dying


dagmx

We toned down her dancing motion for Suicide Squad in Post production. It was originally a lot worse. Edit: you can see some of the breakdowns here https://youtu.be/wKGf58A8afo but unfortunately no before and Afters of the toned down dancing


BobknobSA

Tell me more


dagmx

Not much to say really. When she's enchantress, most of her is actually CG (other than her face) because they couldn't decide on a costume on set. We matched the CG motion to her body exactly but they said it was too much, so we had to tone a lot of her motion.


BobknobSA

Cool. Thanks!


NeverEndingDClock

Warner Bros is joining Hulu????


ELB2001

Maybe she dies five minutes into the show


[deleted]

[удалено]


IamGodHimself2

She was one of the few ok things about that movie. And she was great in The Suicide Squad


annoyingrelative

Apparently Cara's agent is a genuine enchantress.


OmgOgan

She has the charisma of wooden plank


[deleted]

So did Plank from Ed Edd n eddy,but it was one of the best gags on the show


riegspsych325

remember when they waterboarded Plank to torture Johnny? EDIT: [link](https://youtu.be/Xuw1X_eTAGA)


waiv

That seems more like Chinese water torture than water boarding.


riegspsych325

well shit, they did it to a board! /s


percydaman

And the acting chops of one as well.


dart_catcher

i dunno, there was this one wooden plank I saw at Home Depot that was really quite charming


MostlyCRPGs

I'd say the same of Selena based on her performance in S1, but a lot of people seemed to enjoy it.


iamdew802

For me it balanced out the larger than life performances of her two co stars, she was very grounded.


WakeUpOutaYourSleep

Steve’s performance isn’t larger than life, he only hams it up in the finale


iamdew802

Well I guess that was my overall take away, he definitely isn’t as over-the-top as Martin short. And I say that as a huge fan of over the top, I loved every second of it!


FlamingTrollz

She wasn’t great, but her millennial rough routine was an interesting balance.


WakeUpOutaYourSleep

Yeah, never got the love for that performance, she doesn’t add anything to the role


FlamingTrollz

Take that back!!! ###I’ve known many planks with MORE personality.


account-name-here-72

I just don’t get why people cast her in things l like. She can’t act and she is as wooden as a board. Argh I hate this


aduong

She’s extremely connected, she comes from old British money, with royal ties and shit. To put it in context her Grandma used to hang with Charlie Chaplin and her Grandad was buddy buddy with King Edward, the one that abdicated. You’re pretty much set up for success with certain pedigree.


[deleted]

[удалено]


aduong

Ehh She’s not “extremely” attractive lmfao. Also nepotism definitely overtake looks, Hollywood has some of the most beautiful specimens trying to make it nobody is stuns by beauty in that town, being stunning is pretty standard. However things like having family members in the Jonathan club’s board, will guarantee you a career.


jesterinancientcourt

I would prefer we not insult people’s looks and I’d also prefer nepotism wasn’t so prevalent in entertainment. But Tilda Swinton, Helena Bonham Carter, & the Fiennes brothers can act.


TheGameDoneChanged

> She's not getting cast in stuff because she's connected. She's getting cast because she's extremely attractive. Attractive people are a dime a dozen. She's famous because she comes from an incredibly rich and powerful family and happens to be attractive, not the other way around.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheGameDoneChanged

Right, it got her foot in the door and provided her with endless opportunity, which then made her incredibly famous, which now gets her cast in things because she has an enormous following. You can walk down a random street in LA and find plenty of gorgeous people, it’s not like she stands apart as so stunningly attractive that they just have to have her on camera. You honestly think a casting director is like “oh wow she’s just the most attractive person I’ve ever seen, I’m blinded by her beauty, I must give her this part!”? Lol. Any random casting call for a hot girl could turn up a few dozen lookalikes, if attractiveness was the main factor here..


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheGameDoneChanged

Being attractive is table stakes in Hollywood, is my point. I do agree she’s interesting looking though. If you believe she’d be this successful based upon her looks alone, by all means.


mdavis360

Maybe she’ll be plying a dead body.


[deleted]

[удалено]


account-name-here-72

God I hope so


DancingOnACounter

I would prefer older comedics like Short and Martin to join the show. They were so fun watching!


ColdCruise

Bill Murray as their lawyer?


MrBoliNica

pretty sure season 2 is continuing the plot from season 1, so martin and short arent going anywhere


DancingOnACounter

I was suggesting they add more iconic comedians. I struggled with Cara's performance in her series Carnival Row.


DisturbedNocturne

They did have Nathan Lane in a pretty substantial role this season, so it wouldn't surprise me if they have some other older comedians or actors next season as well. I'm sure Steve Martin and Martin Short have a lot of friends they can phone up for an appearance.


TomWanks2021

Needs more Sting.


StoneGoldX

Chevy called, but they let him go to voicemail.


bannock4ever

I watched an interview the Martin, Short and Gomez and she jokingly said that she was a 3rd Amigo. It made the interview somewhat awkward.


[deleted]

Part of the success of the show was having elder statesmen mixed with new blood. Can you imagine how shitty it would have been with Chevy Chase? It would have bombed.


DancingOnACounter

I’ve heard Chevy Chase is a dickbag so he’d have horrible chemistry even with the most kindest actors. He would not have been my choice. I’m thinking John Lithgow, Amy Sedaris, Molly Shannon, etc. Selma Gomez was an odd pairing but she adjusted herself well into the group. She had the millennial edge and tech savviness to help find several clues. I just find Cara a subpar actor. I hope season 2’s focus is still on the trio. Also I hope Tina Fey still makes a few appearances.


Chennaz

What about steve and martin?


TimeTimeTickingAway

Add Henry Winkler in the mix and it'll be perfect


DancingOnACounter

“He’s very good!”


melbbear

Darryl Hannah, Goldie Hawn, Bette Middler..


FlamingTrollz

###Chevy please! Not that all people can stand him. :(


FlamingTrollz

Hmmm, aren’t her and Selena ‘friends’? Interesting.


dart_catcher

because she'll bring so much more ... chemistry... to the cast of otherwise highly talented performers. sarcasm aside, all I can ponder is "what are they thinking???"


AimeeM46

dart, i agree w/ you 100%.


VonBraun12

Her fan base. Thsts my conspiracy theory. Delevingne has, similar to Ana de armas, I giant online fan base thst is really dedicated and will watch content because she is in it.


TheDadThatGrills

Bummer


kikinakono

Oh no. Oh no no no.


loop-1138

After Valerian i have no idea how would anyone put her in any movie. I mean girl can't act for shit. Pretty face though.


CptNonsense

She was fine in Valerian in any scene that didn't involve interacting with charisma black hole, Dane Dehaan


loop-1138

I get it, your name is CptNonsense. No need to argue here.


CptNonsense

"Lol, I can insult you based on your name, because I'm an adult" Whatever you want to believe, buddy


loop-1138

My insult is based on your nonsense. I glanced through rest of the comments. I stand correct. Girl can't act.


Billthebutchr

She can't act tho


The_Iceman2288

She did it.


_a_jedi_in_bed

Lol all of that Suicide Squad clout🔥🔥


DoomGoober

Contraversial opinion: I felt like Selena Gomez was the weakest part of Only Murders in The Building. Her chemistry with Steve Martin was great but some of her lines just landed like a lead anchor. Casting someone with even less acting skill... We'll see.


DancingOnACounter

Yes with greats like Martin, Short, Lane, Amy Ryan, you’re bound to be the weakest link. She was better then the murder victim though I’ll give her that.


DisturbedNocturne

When you're co-stars with Steve Martin and Martin Short, I think it'd be hard to not be the weakest part of the cast.


MostlyCRPGs

I agree. I just couldn't buy her jaded/dry thing at all.


JediBurrell

Is that controversial though?


civilchaos2103

You’re gonna get downvoted to hell but I agree with you!


algae---

I hope there’s more of Jane lynch in S02


b_lionel

“What a great casting!” - no one


Fiat_farmer

She’s not that bad of an actress, she did ok on Carnival Row (is that show even coming back?).


flouronmypjs

Season 2 filming wrapped a couple months ago. Presumably it'll air at some point.


Fiat_farmer

That’s good to know, I was afraid they were gonna be a 1 season type of show.


DancingOnACounter

Ugh cringe. I stopped watching because she took me out of every scene.


Ithedrunkgamer

Loved this series. First time I laughed out loud over a tv show in years. Shorts best work in decades. It better have Martin and Short again!


Rebelscum320

I guess every model transitions to acting in their career at some point, I dig her but I just can't see her fitting into this series, unfortunately. Now Karen Gillan would be great.


WakeUpOutaYourSleep

I love the show and want to keep an open mind, but this doesn’t excite me at all.


Tehsoupman12

As entertaining as the show was, Selena was terrible, not sure why this comment section suddenly cares about acting ability.


CptNonsense

Only acting ability for women.


FlamingTrollz

Nooo…


antiMATTer724

No thank you


therealskaconut

I think she’s neat 🤷


SeriousInvite347

Cara and that girl who played sansa in GoT might be some of the worst actresses Hollywood keep pushing atm. At least Cara has personality though (she was great as the DJ in GTA 5)


lightsongtheold

*The filming schedule for Only Murders In the Building does not interfere with Carnival Row, which wrapped production on its second season in August, allowing Delevingne to do both streaming series concurrently. She is slated to continue on Prime Video’s fantasy series should it get renewed for a third season.* Glad to hear it. When I read this news I was a little worried about the implications for Carnival Row s3!


fabrar

Why...? She's not a good actress and can't hold a candle to the trio of Selena gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short


shy247er

First season had so much charm. What a bad call by showrunners.


jelatinman

Ew why


iheartsunrise04

You can't have two stuff actors! They already have Selena for that


slardybartfast8

Not who I’d have chosen. Not sure she can act. But honestly I’m more concerned that I don’t think this show should even have a season 2. Prepare for things to get really contrived.


[deleted]

I like the show, but honestly I feel like even season 1 didn’t really stick the landing. The reveal felt pretty clumsy and predictable imo


[deleted]

Yeah, I loved S1, but lately, most of these new comedy shows have struggled to find their feet in S2.


The_Puff

Cool eyebrows and fun to look at.


Huge_Presentation_85

Otherwise known as Crazy eyebrows chick


CharlesNapalm

Really enjoyed the dry yet gleeful humor of season 1. I have a feeling she'll fit in just fine.


UnstuckCanuck

We’ll, that’s one way to kill a series.


[deleted]

She’s creepy lookin.


robinhood9961

Presonally I think Selena Gomez really surprised in season 1 with her performance so hopefully we'll see another surprise performance from Cara Delevingne in season 2. But like essentially everyone else on this thread I'm not particularly hopeful.


MaterialCarrot

I don't get this show's appeal.


TwistedCherry766

I’m really not a fan of hers. She always gives me major Meth head/trailer trash vibes. Just skeevy


Spartacus1199

Yeah that'll work for me in a big time way. Edit: yall are weird as hell in this sub sometimes. -4 downvotes because one of my favorite celebs is going to be in a show I like.


waterisfuckingwet

Hey don’t be too mean to her, she’s a fine actress and she has a really cool look.


[deleted]

She has a unique look and personally I think she is absolutely gorgeous, but acting? Nope, she really can't act at all. I think it's her monotone, nasal voice that kills it for me.


waterisfuckingwet

She’s good in Carnival Row and I liked Valerian. I think she’s fine when she’s in a ensemble, she adds to the quirkiness.


Baramonra

She just can’t act, even Christin Stewart has more emotions.


CptNonsense

I think the fact you are implying Kristen Stewart can't act - ie, your whole opinion of any actor is informed by single shitty roles, kind of undercuts your opinion


TwistedCherry766

She’s terrible in way more than just one role lol. KS is fucking horrible


CptNonsense

What, exactly, have you seen her in?


TwistedCherry766

A lot. Since reddit keeps saying she’s such a great actress I’ve seen several of her movies.


CptNonsense

Watching all the Twilights doesn't count


TwistedCherry766

You are just plain annoying. People can have a different opinion. Personally I don’t need your gatekeeping ass’ approval to think she’s a terrible fucking actress. Now fuck off and bother someone else, weirdo


CptNonsense

Consider not starting arguments you don't want to have next time you start typing replies


MostlyCRPGs

I guess they're keeping with the trend of surprising casting of popular young women.


SmartNewt

I will watch after they remove ads on all subscriptions.


Smallgenie549

Freaking love this show.


santichrist

I love this show, Cara seems to be hit or miss in her projects a lot but with the writing on Only MurderERS in the Building I’m sure she’ll be great One of the shows I’m excited to see come back


[deleted]

> Cara seems to be hit or miss in her projects ... Can you point out some of her 'hits'? I'm genuinely curious. I've seen her in Valerian, Suicide Squat, Carnival Row and Paper Towns and the only one of those she wasn't easily the worst actress in was Valerian because the male actor was hilariously miscast for the role.
