Elizabeth Marvel Brad Trent Elizabeth Marvel has found new representation.
The actress, who will appear in theaters this weekend as part of Steven Spielberg’s drama Disclosure Day, has signed with talent and literary agency Verve. She is currently recurring on season four of HBO’s historical drama The Gilded Age and recently appeared in HBO Max’s Love & Death and Peacock’s Mrs. Davis.
On the big screen, Marvel counts roles in Spielberg’s Lincoln, Joel and Ethan Coen’s Burn After Reading and True Grit, Paul Greengrass’ News of the World and Blitz Bazawule’s The Color Purple, among many other credits.
Of her role in Disclosure Day, THR critic David Rooney writes in his review, “The always excellent Elizabeth Marvel projects wisdom and warmth as a caring nun at the monastery where Jane once lived, her open-mindedness toward cosmic forces that transcend religion conveyed with crisp economy.”
The feature, marking Spielberg’s return to the sci-fi genre after classics like Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. as well as ’00s blockbusters Minority Report and War of the Worlds, is one of Universal’s big summer tentpole bets.
Marvel has been a mainstay on the stage and on television screens, with long runs in Netflix’s D.C. drama House of Cards and Showtime spy thriller Homeland and turns in Apple TV’s legal thriller Presumed Innocent and Netflix mystery Manifest. Procedural work includes multi-episode runs on NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and on CBS’ The District.
On stage, Marvel has collaborated with playwrights and directors Edward Albee, Caryl Churchill, Jon Robin Baitz, and Ivo van Hove.
The actress is also repped by Viking Entertainment and Franklin, Weinrib, Rudell & Vassallo.
