Career

2011–2016

With a brief cameo as a secretary, Debicki makes her feature film debut in the 2011 Australian film A Few Best Men. She has never performed before after theatre school. Director Baz Luhrmann, who was casting for his upcoming The Great Gatsby movie, saw her audition tape and flew her to Los Angeles, where she screen tested with actor Tobey Maguire. Jordan Baker, a character in Luhrmann’s 2013 film The Great Gatsby, was cast in May 2011, the director revealed. She later won an AACTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role after receiving glowing reviews for her depiction of the part. Debicki was the star of a picture session for Vogue Australia in December 2012.

In the Sydney Theatre Company’s production of Jean Genet’s play The Maids, which starred Cate Blanchett as Claire and Isabelle Huppert as Solange, Debicki played Madame from June to July 2013. For her performance, she was given the Sydney Theatre Awards’ best newcomer prize. The show moved off-Broadway to the New York City Center in 2014. Debicki also had appearances in the third season of the Australian television series Rake and a 13-minute short film titled “Gödel Incomplete” around this period.

Debicki appeared in three big-budget films in 2015 in supporting parts. She learned to drive on set while playing the villain in Guy Ritchie’s 2015 rendition of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. She also starred in the Macbeth adaption directed by Australian filmmaker Justin Kurzel as well as the biographical adventure movie Everest, which made $203 million worldwide. She appeared as Mona Sanders alongside Mark Strong and Hope Davis in the world premiere production of David Hare’s The Red Barn, a stage version of Georges Simenon’s The Man on the Bench in the Barn, which took place at the Lyttelton Theatre of the National Theatre in London. From October 2016 until January 2017, the play was staged.

Debicki has pivotal parts in two TV series in 2016. She portrayed Dr. Anna Macy, the main character, in the eight-part Australian television drama The Kettering Incident, which was filmed largely in Tasmania. Debicki left for Switzerland to start filming the television miniseries The Night Manager a few months after wrapping up production on that show. In the adaptation of the same-named John le Carré novel, she portrayed the character of Jed. In April 2016, the programme aired in America.

2017–present

Following the success of The Night Manager, Debicki was cast in a supporting role as Ayesha, the head of the Sovereign people, in the Marvel Studios movie Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. She will return for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the film’s sequel and the third and final entry in the series. She joined the cast of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, directed by Luc Besson, in June 2017 in an unnamed voice-over role. Her character would be revealed to be Emperor Haban-Lima when the movie finally hit theatres some two months later. Additionally in 2017, Debicki played Eva in Australian actor Simon Baker’s feature film debut, Breath. For this role, she was nominated for an AACTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. The movie would be nominated for five more AACTA Awards, including Best Film, and would take home the prizes for Best Supporting Actor and Best Sound at the eighth AACTA Awards.

Debicki had five film appearances in 2018. In The Cloverfield Paradox, the third entry in the Cloverfield franchise, she portrayed Jensen. Following Super Bowl LII in February 2018, the movie was made available on Netflix. After that, she starred as Mrs. G in the highly regarded HBO film The Tale, for which she won accolades. But several months later, in November 2018, she would portray the part of Alice in Steve McQueen’s heist movie Widows, which would become one of her most significant performances to date. She garnered some of the best reviews of her career after the movie came out, with many critics expressing how pleased they were with how she managed to stand out in such a crowded ensemble that featured actors like Viola Davis and Liam Neeson. Debicki also played Virginia Woolf in Vita & Virginia and provided Mopsy Rabbit’s voice in Peter Rabbit that same year. For the follow-up, Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, she would return.

Debicki played the lead alongside Claes Bang and Mick Jagger in the 2019 thriller The Burnt Orange Heresy. She played Kat, the estranged wife of Kenneth Branagh’s character, in Christopher Nolan’s spy movie Tenet (2020), which was released the following year. She displayed “the most recognisable human emotions here, shouting, crying, and even smiling in a manner that no one else quite does,” according to Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian, although he also noted that her role was identical to the one she portrayed in The Night Manager.

In the final two seasons of the Netflix historical drama series The Crown, Debicki replaces Emma Corrin as Diana, Princess of Wales.
