Marion Cotillard has suggested she “screwed up” her character’s death scene in The Dark Knight Rises.
The Oscar-winner played the role of villain Talia al Ghul in the 2012 Christopher Nolan film, which marked the final chapter of his Batman trilogy.
However, her demise in a crashed vehicle was seen as somewhat awkward by fans, and Cotillard has said in a new interview with Les rencontres du Papotin (via Variety) that she “didn’t nail that scene”.
“I didn’t find the right position,” she added. “I didn’t find the right way… I was stressed. Sometimes it happens that you screw something up. So that, I screwed up.”
This isn’t the first time the actress has addressed the moment, Cotillard telling Allocine in 2016: “We’re all in the same boat, and if sometimes it gets out of control, then everyone is involved.
“Sometimes there are failures, and when you see this on screen, you’re thinking: ‘Why? Why did they keep that take?’ But either you blame everyone or nobody.”
However, the star said she thought people “overreacted” and that “it was tough to be identified just with this scene”.
“When I’m doing the best I can to find the authenticity in every character that I’m playing, it’s tough to be known just for this scene,” she added.
In other news, last September it was reported that a new Bane film could be on the way from DC, with the character previously appearing in The Dark Knight Rises played by Tom Hardy.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the villain may be getting a film alongside Deathstroke, with a script being developed by Captain America: Brave New World‘s Matthew Orton for James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Studios.
Recent DC outings have included Joker sequel Joker: Folie à Deux and HBO series The Penguin starring Colin Farrell as the villain.
