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.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
