Jennifer Connelly is swapping Maverick for mind-bending realities after landing a starring role in Apple series Dark Matter.
Connelly, fresh from starring in Top Gun: Maverick, will star alongside Joel Edgerton in the nine-part sci-fi series.

The actor recently told Vulture that acting in a movie like “Aquaman” is “clown work,” so it’s important for him to flex his acting muscles in other projects. “Everything should be about getting to the truth. But sometimes you got to know which movie or genre you’re in,” Abdul-Mateen said. “Something like ‘Aquaman,’ that’s clown work. ‘Aquaman’ is not ‘The Trial of the Chicago 7.’ You have got to get over yourself.”
