Directed by Steven Soderbergh, whose other films include Ocean’s Eleven and Traffic, it also stars Marisa Abela, who portrayed Amy Winehouse in last year’s film Back to Black and Bridgerton star Regé-Jean Page.
But ask Fassbender, whose previous high-profile roles include portraying a sex addict in Steve McQueen’s drama Shame in 2011, if he were to put something in the black bag, what would it be?
“Rental cars at airports,” says Fassbender.“I just like to go straight to the car after I queue to get on the plane, go through airport security and all that stuff.”
In 2013, Fassbender was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor after his performance as Edwin Epps in 12 Years a Slave – also by British film director McQueen.
Blanchett has also had a decorated career as an actress and won her second Academy Award nomination – the first was in 1998, for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth I in the period drama film Elizabeth – for Best Supporting Actress playing Katharine Hepburn in the biopic The Aviator in 2004.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star also played Lou in Ocean’s 8, so this film reunites her with Soderbergh, who has worked on the Ocean’s franchise.
