When Elizabeth Debicki arrived on set for “Wicker,” the first thing she saw was Alexander Skarsgård wading through water — full-frontal. But it wasn’t Skarsgård in the flesh; he was “stark naked as wicker.”

“I turned the corner, and I was like, ‘Hi, Alex!’ and I went bright red because my brain couldn’t compute what it was seeing,” Debicki tells Variety, sitting alongside Skarsgård and their co-star Olivia Colman in a hotel suite at the Chateau Marmont in L.A. “I was just like ‘Oh my God! Welcome to Budapest, I guess.’”
