A fan asked the actress, whether she ever thought to take up a lighter role or fun romantic comedy, after denoting her history of taking on challenging and weighty roles, as she did in “The Handmaid’s Tale”. I find this to be entertaining. Regarding the impending series, she remarked, “I felt like I had a lot of comedy and a lot of romance in this.”
Despite enjoying every minute of her time on set, Moss said that, considering the training and abilities required for the part, playing an MI-6 agent could have been the hardest thing she has ever done as an actor.
She said, “It was far more difficult, considering just the amount of abilities and various activities I needed to learn with the language and the stunts, the fight instruction, speaking a couple of additional languages here and there, and travelling all around the world.” “It certainly felt that it was, if achievable, I had learned things even more demanding than Handmaid’s which is unimaginable to say,” she added on the futuristic drama.
