One of Zazie Beetz's more recent noteworthy projects is her role in "Nine Days," the feature directorial debut of Edson Oda. Described as "ethereal and evocative," the film has received favorable reviews (via Rotten Tomatoes). It centers on a premise that in order to fill a vacancy on Earth, five souls must undergo an interview process, after which an arbiter will decide which soul gets the opportunity to live as a human being.
One of these souls is named Emma, portrayed by Beetz. Throughout the movie, Emma exhibits her unrepressed nature and even pushes Will, the arbiter (Winston Duke), to reflect more on his own trauma and growth journey. Beetz has shared some of her thoughts on what makes her character stand out, emphasizing the way Emma is concerned with the present and full of wonder regarding it (via Collider). "Emma, particularly, is just very moment by moment oriented, and not the future or the past. Some of the other spirits are a bit more concerned about the future and what's gonna happen with them," Beetz said.
In terms of Beetz's own future, it will be exciting to witness what new projects arise as her career continues to grow.
