Washington [US], July 7 (ANI): Elizabeth Debicki, known for her poignant portrayal of Princess Diana in Netflix’s ‘The Crown,’ has shifted gears dramatically in her latest role as she stars in Ti West’s horror sequel ‘MaXXXine,’ now showing in theatres.
Following her acclaimed stint as Princess Diana in the popular series, Debicki sat for an interview about her experience transitioning to the character of Elizabeth Bender in ‘MaXXXine.’

In ‘MaXXXine,’ Debicki portrays Elizabeth Bender, a director pivotal to the narrative as she catapults Maxine Minx (played by Mia Goth) into the limelight amidst the backdrop of 1980s Los Angeles, according to Deadline.
The film delves into the horror genre with elements of suspense and intrigue, showcasing Debicki’s versatility beyond her previous roles.
Speaking about her approach to acting and the diverse roles she takes on, Debicki described the profession as a transformative experience.

This philosophy underscores her willingness to explore different facets of characters, evident in her portrayal of Liz Bender in ‘MaXXXine.’
Furthermore, Debicki drew parallels between her character and the director Ti West, highlighting shared struggles and ambitions in the film industry. “There is some Ti in Liz Bender,” she noted, indicating the personal connection she found with the role and its creator’s vision.
