Carey Mulligan on How One of Promising Young Woman's Most Provocative Scenes Made Her Feel Safest

Promising Young Woman stars Carey Mulligan as Cassie, a “promising young woman” until she dropped out of med school. Now, during the day, Cassie works in her good friend Gail’s (Laverne Cox) coffee shop, but at night, she goes out to bars and clubs, operating as a vigilante of sorts. Cassie pretends to be drunk and simply waits for someone to take the bait - and they always do under the “nice guy” guise, before attempting to take advantage of the situation. With Promising Young Woman hitting theaters on December 25th, I got the chance to chat with Mulligan and Cox about their experience working on the film. Not only did they discuss what was unique to the Promising Young Woman prep process and the backstory behind Gail and Cassie’s friendship, but they also took a moment to highlight what a phenomenal leader Fennell is on set, a quality that was vital for Mulligan when bringing Cassie’s story to screen.
