Noomi Rapace

Noomi Rapace

Noomi Rapace is set to play seven different roles in her new film What Happened To Monday?

The actress has joined the Tommy Wirkola directed film for what is set to be one of the most challenging roles of her career so far.

The movie follows the siblings as they struggle to stay hidden in an overpopulated world as the one-child law applies, but along the way they are forced to stop squabbling in order to avoid government execution and find their missing sister.

What Happened To Monday? will mark the first time that Rapace has worked with Wirkola, who told Variety that this central role was originally written for a man.

"Although the role was originally written for a male, I was struck by the complexities of having an actor portray seven characters and immediately knew Noomi was the ideal actor - male or female - to bring them to life."

We haven't seen Rapace on the big screen since Dead Man Down, but she has been busy filming new projects.

She has completed work on both Animal Rescue and Child 44: both films see her team up with Tom Hardy.

Child 44 is the latest film from Daniel Espinosa and is based on the novel by Tom Rob Smith.
