Director Kenneth Branagh, working with Comer on their upcoming psychological thriller The Last Disturbance of Madeline Hynde, compared her to “a young Meryl Streep,” adding, “I wish I had shares in her future” — highlighting his belief in her immense talent at just age 32 . He described himself as “fortunate” to collaborate with her and applauded her dedication.
Comer responded with humility and self-awareness, laughing off the comparison: “He is very kind… Bless him,” and humorously adding, “Oh, me? I’m nothing like Meryl! I’m just a girl from Liverpool!”.
The Last Disturbance of Madeline Hynde, co-starring Patricia Arquette and Michael Sheen, is set for release next year. Branagh teased that Comer’s character will experience “a dark night of the soul” with “reckless emotional exposure,” indicating a complex, emotionally demanding role .
