Naomi Ackie has been nominated for an EE Rising Star award and in her latest interview with Metro UK mentioned Rob:
Then there’s the mysterious Mickey 17, the teaser for which sent the internet into overdrive upon its release last month.
Directed by Parasite’s Bong Joon-ho, the film is based on Edward Ashton’s dystopian sci-fi novel and stars Pattinson, who was seen laying in a futuristic blue body chamber in December’s 30-second teaser trailer.
We’ll have to wait a while to wrap our eyeballs around the flick, as it doesn’t hit cinemas until March 2024, but when asked about the films and what it’s like working with such big names, Ackie offered up some interesting thoughts.
‘It’s weird the first day meeting them,’ she said of working with Kravitz and Pattinson, adding: ‘And then you’re like, “oh wait, you’re someone I really respect”, so you just get over it.’
The London-born star went on: ‘It’s huge in terms of, for me, the privilege of being able to work with such talented people in different stages of their career.’
…
‘And then obviously working with Rob and Mark Ruffalo – I feel very, very lucky. [But] you put it on a shelf and get on with the work.’

Edward Ashton shows support for Rob's casting
I'm no expert in this space, but I think Robert Pattinson and Naomi Ackie are gonna blow the doors off as Mickey and Nasha. I'm not 100% confident what roles Toni Colette and Mark Ruffalo are going to fill, but they're both amazing so I'm not sure it matters. So all in all ♥️
