Emma Corrin made a stylish appearance at the 10th anniversary of MGCfutures on November 8, 2024, at St Martin-in-the-Fields. The non-binary actor, who identifies with they/them pronouns, wore an elegant black suit over a navy blue T-shirt and paired their outfit with orange-tinted spectacles and black trainers. Recently, reports suggest that Corrin is a strong contender for the lead role of Elizabeth Bennet in an upcoming Netflix adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel, Pride and Prejudice. The series, being penned by Dolly Alderton, aims to deliver a progressive take on the novel. Alderton, a fan of Corrin, believes that their casting as Elizabeth Bennet would be a 'brilliant move' as it would bring representation to the character. Emma has previously received acclaim for their role as Princess Diana in The Crown, which has contributed to being viewed favorably for this important role. In addition to this potential new role, Emma Corrin is currently involved in another project, a queer feminist retelling of 1001 Arabian Nights titled 100 Nights of Heroes. This film is based on Isabel Greenberg’s graphic novel and features a complex storyline involving themes of villainy and heroism, showcasing Emma’s versatility as an actor. As Emma looks to expand their repertoire with diverse and significant roles, the news of their potential casting in such a classic story reflects the ongoing evolution of representation in film and television.
