Oscar-winner Frances McDormand has appeared in a truly diverse array of films over the last couple of years, from the likes of Madagascar 3 and The Good Dinosaur, to Moonrise Kingdom and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

Her Academy Award win for the latter ensured that she can basically choose any role she wants, which has had the knock-on effect of her being a lot more selective with the projects she joins. This in mind, it's not really surprising to learn that her 2019 is devoid of movies altogether.

Besides a narrating role in TV mini-series Good Omens (which will star David Tennant and Jon Hamm) McDormand has nothing else on her docket for the foreseeable future. That could have been different - earlier this year she turned down the opportunity to play the Joker's mother in the upcoming DC spinoff movie - but as it stands, we don't know when the actress will pop up next.

He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
