The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed the rumors: Elle will be starring as Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, in Hulu’s series “The Great“. The series is currently expected to premiere in 2020.
The Great features Fanning as the Russian empress as the genre-bending, anti-historical series follows the rise of Catherine the Nothing to Catherine the Great. Nicholas Hoult also stars. Rounding out the cast are Phoebe Fox, Adam Godley, Gwilym Lee, Charity Wakefield, Douglas Hodge and Sacha Dhawan.
The Favourite screenwriter Tony McNamara created, wrote and executive produced The Great. From producer MRC, the series was also executive produced by Marian Macgowan, Thruline’s Josh Kesselman and Ron West, Echo Lake’s Brittany Kahan Ward, Doug Mankoff and Andrew Spaulding, Fanning and Matt Shakman, who directed the project. (Valence Media, the parent company of The Hollywood Reporter, also owns MRC.)

Elle was sighted on the set of “Molly” once again! She was filming what seemed like a… slightly dramatic scene with actor Javier Bardem, and our gallery has been updated with the images.

Elle talked to Vogue about being the star of Miu Miu’s latest fragrance, called Twist, wanting to make the movie “Teen Spirit” and why she’ll never have bangs. You can read the interview below! I’ve also updated our gallery with new images from the campaign.
Elle Fanning’s role as a Miu Miu muse has been well documented. The 20-year-old first appeared in the brand’s Spring 2014 campaign and recently made her catwalk debut, opening and closing the Fall 2018 show. Now, Fanning and Miu Miu have reached another milestone: The actress is also the face of the brand’s new fragrance.
I meet Fanning at the penthouse of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. Considering that our meeting has come at the end of a very long press day, she is impressively vibrant and greets me with a hug. “Hi! Welcome!” she says. “I’m Elle.”
She is dressed in a coral Miu Miu shift dress, her willowy 5-foot-9 frame tottering above silver glitter platform sandals that she’s paired (rather ingeniously) with mustard-striped ankle socks. Fanning resembles a very tall fairy; it’s not just her wide eyes, pert nose, and charmingly mischievous grin. It’s her mien—a girlish exuberance (her phone case is emboldened with the word “Rah!” in pink cursive) married with the assuredness of an old soul (she uses anachronistic terms like “cheeky”). To meet Fanning, who followed sister Dakota into acting at the tender age of 2, is to understand how she won the role of a Disney princess (Maleficent) and why designer Miuccia Prada keeps tapping her for projects on behalf of Miu Miu, the quirky-cool little sister of Prada. “It really speaks to my personality—cute and imaginative but still sophisticated,” she says.
Our gallery has been updated with several images of Elle Fanning for Miu Miu! These are from 2018 campaigns that we had been missing – such as Other Conversations, Miu Miu More, and Fall/Winter -, as well as the new 2019 fragrance campaign Twix.
Elle Fanning has seamlessly slipped into characters since she was two years old. In her very first film, she appeared as the younger version of big sister Dakota in I Am Sam. Since then, the now 20-year-old actress has played a princess (Maleficent), a supermodel (Neon Demon), a transgender male teen (3 Generations), a ghost (Twixt), a novelist (Mary Shelley), a twisted schoolgirl (The Beguiled), and an alien (How to Talk to Girls at Parties), among many others.
Off screen, she transitions just as easily into someone else, be it an ice skater or a masseuse—just two of the many personas she’s explored while riding in an Uber (more on that later). Fanning has even boarded a plane in Los Angeles as a regular front-row celeb and gotten off in Paris as a show opener for Miu Miu, a “spur-of-the-moment” casting idea Miuccia Prada came up with for fall 2018. Given the star’s experience on red carpets and big-screen runways (she tackled a treadmill in a dress for Neon Demon), she was a natural—save for having to contain her big, bubbly personality in favor of a cool supermodel smize on the catwalk.
Hitman Roy Cady is diagnosed with lung cancer at 40. He has more pressing concerns, however, seeing as his boss has decided to remove him from the business (and the world) via a set-up.
