Netflix, as one of the best streaming services available, is known for offering a wide variety of films to its consumers. Every month, plenty of new movies are added to the platform, but, unfortunately, the streaming service is forced to remove some hits as well.

In February 2025, for example, several successful films such as Dune, Snowpiercer, and The Fast and the Furious franchise were removed, leaving many people out of the loop. So, if you're one of those individuals with a long list of films to view, some of them may leave Netflix sooner than you imagine. With that in mind, here's every movie leaving Netflix in March 2025.

'Inception' (2010) Leaving March 1

Inception, written and directed by Christopher Nolan, is perhaps one of the greatest films of the 21st century, with a brilliant concept and an iconic filmmaker behind the camera. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, the Oscar-winning film follows Dom Cobb,...

The book follows Lynette, a 30-something burdened with debt and juggling jobs, who strives to buy her family’s home in rapidly gentrifying Portland. When her mother reneges on a promise to help, Lynette embarks on a desperate two-day search for the money. This odyssey brings her face-to-face with the city’s winners and losers, escalating her desperation. A dangerous choice plunges Lynette into a downward spiral, forcing her to confront her past as she fights for her family’s future.

Netflix’s logline for its adaptation is as follows:

Bad news for action movie fans, as a thriller with 91% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes is all set to abandon Netflix soon. Released back in 2019, the action thriller 21 Bridges features the late, great Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman in the lead as an NYPD detective on the hunt for a pair of cop killers. Boasting a reliably charismatic performance from Boseman, 21 Bridges proved divisive among critics and audiences, but is well worth any and every action movie fan’s time. But you don’t have long.

Directed by Brian Kirk, written by Adam Mervis and Matthew Michael Carnahan, and produced by Avengers: Endgame’s Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, 21 Bridges stars Chadwick Boseman alongside Sienna Miller, Stephan James, Taylor Kitsch, Keith David, and J. K. Simmons. 21 Bridges is now all set to leave Netflix in the United States at the end of this week on February...

2025 is in full swing, and with March just around the corner, it’s time for you to look ahead at the movies and series scheduled to depart Netflix throughout the month of March. The biggest notable TV series leaving is The Mindy Project, while hit films like Scooby-Doo and Love Again, among others, are also set to depart.

As always, Netflix’s library is constantly evolving. That means new titles are always on the way, but because Netflix licenses titles from big distributors, they’re not always on Netflix forever. When this license (or rental period) comes to an end, the movie or series leaves Netflix.

Note: This list will be constantly updated throughout February as we learn of more series and movies set to leave (typically 30 days before their departure). In the last few weeks of the month, Netflix...

Killing Faith

Written and directed...

Sienna Miller has had her fair share of hits and misses in her career, from starring in hits like American Sniper to being a part of disappointments like G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Back in 2019, the actor revealed that she wasn’t even aware that there was a second film in that iteration of the franchise.

The actress, in an interview in 2019, revealed that she might have regretted playing a villain in the G.I. Joe films, but that does not mean that she would not be perfect for a similar role in another franchise. Granted, it would be infinitely more grounded than what the Dwayne Johnson films had going, but it could definitely work out in her favor, should it come to fruition.

The movie follow-up to Prime Video's hit series Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan has added its first new cast member. The four-season series, based on Tom Clancy’s Ryanverse novels, follows the titular character, Jack Ryan (John Krasinski), as he navigates high-stakes geopolitical threats and espionage. With its modernized narrative, the spy show has earned critical acclaim for Krasinski's character-driven portrayal of the intelligence officer and ranks among Prime Video's most-watched shows globally.

The upcoming Jack Ryan movie, produced by Amazon MGM Studios, promises to expand the Ryanverse beyond the television series. Directed by series alum Andrew Bernstein and penned by season 4 writer Aaron Rabin, the feature film will reportedly include familiar faces from the series while introducing new characters to the fold. Details surrounding the plot remain classified, but Krasinski is more than ready to follow every past actor who played Jack Ryan in his first feature film as the nominal character.

John Krasinski is lining up more co-stars for his upcoming Jack Ryan movie, a feature film that stems from his hit series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan. The project is in the works at Amazon MGM Studios.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, it's been revealed that Sienna Miller has been tapped to star opposite Krasinski in the Jack Ryan movie. It's also been reported that the film will bring back other cast members from the TV series, including Wendell Pierce (Superman) and Michael Kelly (House of Cards). Plot details have not been divulged, though it's expected that the story will largely follow Krasinski's titular character. Miller will reportedly play an MI6 agent, described as the "British counterpart to Ryan."

The Jack Ryan star shares how it felt to be named 2024's Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine.

Hollywood has seen plenty of relationships with big age gaps, but when it comes to older women dating younger men, people suddenly tend to have different and negative reactions. At least that is what Sienna Miller herself felt when she initially got together with her boyfriend Oli Green, who is 15 years her junior.

Known for her captivating performance in The Edge of Love and American Sniper, the actress has never shied away from being transparent about her personal life. Having first met Green in 2021, Miller has been candid about their relationship and has never shied away from hitting back against haters for their ‘double standards.’

However, in a recent interview, the actress opened up about their differences and was initially annoyed that her boyfriend was so much younger than her. Jere is all you need to know about Sienna Miller and her love story with Oli Green.

Deadline brings word today that Aaron Pierre (Rebel Ridge) and Stephan James (Beacon 23) are the current frontrunners to play John Stewart in DC Studios and HBO's Lanterns.

Kyle Chandler was cast as Hal Jordan earlier this week and, according to the trade, no offers have been made yet. As we reported earlier today, F1 star Damson Idris was in the running but that no longer appears to be the case.

Both actors would bring a lot of this series and the wider Dcu and, as of now, it appears the plan is for John to be this shared world's main Green Lantern. Chandler has reportedly only signed a deal for Lanterns and no features so likely won't appear beyond the series.

Pierre is no stranger to the DC Universe after playing Dev-Em in Krypton and recently became a fan favourite choice to play John after starring in Rebel Ridge.

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Black Panther, Chadwick Boseman became an icon. He first starred in Captain America: Civil War, and later appeared in Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.

Tragically, the actor, who was also known for his work in movies like Da 5 Bloods, 21 Bridges, and Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, died in 2020 after a lengthy battle with cancer. His illness was kept private until his death in August of that year, and the news of his passing sent shockwaves not only through Hollywood but across the globe.

We've since learned that the Black Panther star never stopped fighting, and his final MCU performance was as Star-Lord in Disney+'s What If...? Boseman received a well-deserved posthumous Emmy for "Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance" for his work in that series.

Yesterday marked the fourth anniversary of Boseman's death and Guardians of the Galaxy director and DC Studios...

During Steven Zaillian’s Ripley, the viewer gleans a lot from things that aren’t said, whether that’s through telltale props, intricate sets or fabulous 1960s fashion. But it’s the show’s sound mixing that really becomes a key player in the Netflix series, adding tension and mystery to scenes with little dialogue or score.

“Steve clearly planned the show with sound in mind and really left room for the environments and ambiences to breathe and support a tone,” says sound designer and rerecording mixer Larry Zipf. “We had many long stretches with little dialogue or little music, and wherever there was opportunity for sound to give the impression of life outside the frame, whether it’s diegetic or in Tom’s mind, Steve was always looking for that.”

Ripley stars Andrew Scott as con man Tom Ripley and is based on Patricia Highsmith’s 1955 novel The Talented Mr. Ripley,...

Chadwick Boseman may have left this world earlier than the rest of us three and a half years ago, but he still remains as alive as ever in the hearts and memories of his fans, friends, family, and especially his co-stars. Among these co-stars comes Hollywood’s very own favorite Angela Bassett as well, who played his loving mother in the Black Panther saga.

Chadwick Boseman (@chadwickboseman | Ig)

In fact, Bassett feels her connection with Boseman went a lot deeper than what was seen on the big screens. As she recently shared during an interview, not only did working alongside the late legend mean an incredible lot to her, but she even felt that she was perhaps destined to play Boseman’s mother, almost as if it was all already written in the stars. Here’s why.

The twist ending in 21 Bridges uncovers NYPD corruption and the cause of Andre's dad's murder, leading to a fast-paced but predictable conclusion. A conspiracy within the NYPD involving drug dealing highlights the theme that dirty cops are worse than the criminals they chase. The ambiguous ending leaves viewers questioning if Andre quits his job as a police detective, adding depth to his character's moral dilemma.

21 Bridges includes a fast-paced but predictable twist ending that answers questions about the NYPD's corruption and Andre's dad. The film starts with a young Andre attending his police officer father’s funeral, then jumps forward to Andre (Chadwick Boseman) as a police officer. He’s brought into an internal affair investigation for having killed multiple people on the job. After getting questioned by Ia, he goes to visit his elderly grandmother, who is struggling with her memory. 21 Bridges then jumps to two...

Critics praised Boseman's acting in 21 Bridges, despite mixed reviews of the repetitive storyline. The film received a 54% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes but an impressive 91% from audiences. 21 Bridges was Chadwick Boseman's last film before his death in August 2020, highlighting his talent.

The 2019 action thriller 21 Bridges includes a well-rounded cast of established film and television actors who help bring life into the drama. The film follows Andre Davis, an NYPD detective, as he orders the police to shut down the 21 river crossing bridges of Manhattan to find two cop killers. Along for the ride is narcotics detective Frankie Burns, who has an ulterior motive in helping Davis and a team of hundreds as they search for the cop killers.

Emma Thompson looks set to do a bit of fishing and foil a kidnapping in The Fisherwoman: more on the film here.

The resurgent trend of action movies named after day-to-day jobs and activities continues. This year alone, Aaron Eckhart has been The Bricklayer, and Jason Statham as – of course – The Beekeeper.

Now though, step forward Emma Thompson. I’ve long wondered if she might take an action project, and it appears that’s what’s happened. Not just any one either: she’s going to headline The Fisherwoman.

I’m in already, for the avoidance of any doubt.

Filming is getting underway on the film this very week, and it’ll tell the story of Thompson’s widowed fisherwoman, who interrupts a kidnapping. Laurel Marsen, who was in Ms Marvel, will play the teenager who was about to get kidnapped until Emma Thompson rocked up. But there’s more to this than that,...

Exclusive: German production and sales company Augenschein, whose credits include Joseph Gordon-Levitt thriller 7500 (pictured) and Anna Kendrick sci-fi Stowaway, has sold a minority stake to Erfttal Film, the longtime shareholder in All Quiet On The Western Front producer Amusement Park.

Jonas Katzenstein and Maximilian Leo, who run Cologne-based Augenschein, closed the deal with Erfttal’s Klaus Dohle. The value of the investment was not disclosed but it is understood to be a multi-million dollar investment for a stake in the 20-30% range.

Dohle is a producer and businessman with a long-standing family history in real estate, manufacturing, agriculture and equity investments in Germany and abroad. His associate producer credits include Land of Mine, The Aftermath and A Most Wanted Man.

Under the pact, Augenschein will continue to operate independently but the investment gives the company greater ability to develop, package and produce movies with stronger commercial potential for the global market,...

Chris Pratt's upcoming 2024 sci-fi movie, The Electric State, has the potential to break the Russo brothers' poor track record with MCU actors outside of the MCU. The Russo brothers, known for directing Avengers films, have worked on five forgettable movies featuring MCU actors, including Extraction and Cherry. The Electric State, based on a graphic novel, has a promising cast, including Millie Bobby Brown and Anthony Mackie, which gives hope for a quality film and a chance to improve the Russo brothers' reputation.

Chris Pratt's role in The Garfield Movie might be getting attention, but it's his upcoming 2024 sci-fi movie that could end up breaking a concerning trend plaguing MCU actors. 2023 marked Pratt's most recent Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance with the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. To date, the actor has appeared in six MCU movies and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special as Star-Lord.

Ending the year in signs is the hilarious, adventurous, sharp-tongued era of Sagittarius.

There’s truly nothing like them. They are quirky, mysterious and full of life. While they naturally grab the attention in the room, they feel most comfortable when they’re in their lonesome.

Sagittarius is the jack-of-trades sign; the sign that takes up space in every all industries — whether they be an actor, comedian or a bus driver — their versatility allows them to do it all. And that flexibility helps fuel their “I’ll try anything once” mindset. To them, what is life if you’re not living it to your fullest? The only thing you have to beware of is their slick mouth.

Alexander Siddig played Dr. Julian Bashir, the Chief Medical Officer of Deep Space Nine, and became a vital player in the Star Trek franchise. Dr. Bashir appeared in nearly every episode of Deep Space Nine, forming friendships with Chief O'Brien and former Cardassian spy Garak. Siddig has expressed interest in returning to the role, speculating on Bashir's potential storyline and the possibility of him joining the Section 31 movie.

Every Star Trek show needs a doctor and Alexander Siddig fills that role as Dr. Julian Bashir on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Bashir would go on to appear in nearly every episode of DS9 as the Chief Medical Officer of the titular space station.

The Russo brothers' films and TV shows following Avengers: Endgame have struggled to make an impact, receiving negative reviews and low scores on Rotten Tomatoes. Focusing on movies released directly to streaming services like AppleTV+ and Netflix has devalued their projects, as they are perceived as of lesser quality than theatrically released films. The Russo brothers' post-Endgame career average on Rotten Tomatoes is 64.5%, but their non-mcu movies have an average score of only 39.25%, indicating that they are better at making MCU movies and struggle with other projects.

Joe and Anthony Russo directed one of the biggest movies of all time, but their films and TV shows following Avengers: Endgame have struggled to make any kind of impact. The Russo brothers were always unlikely candidates to handle an MCU movie, as they got their start in comedy, directing episodes of TV series such as Community and Arrested Development. The Russos' first...

Chris Hemsworth returns as Tyler Rake in Extraction 2, the sequel to Netflix’s blockbuster action film Extraction.

Hemsworth reunites with director Sam Hargrave, with Joe and Anthony Russo’s Agbo producing and Joe Russo writing. Golshifteh Farahani reprises her role from the first film, with Adam Bessa, Olga Kurylenko, Daniel Bernhardt and Tinatin Dalakishvili also co-starring.

This is a sequel to the first film that was based on the graphic novel ‘Ciudad’ by Ande Parks, from a story by Ande Parks, Joe Russo & Anthony Russo, with illustrations by Fernando León González. Extraction 2 is produced by Anthony Russo, Joe Russo, Mike Larocca, Angela Russo-Otstot,...

Ali (Swagger), Gail Bean (Snowfall), Jerrika Hinton (Hunters), Stephan James (If Beale Street Could Talk), Jay Peterson (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It) and Matrell Smith (The Equalizer).

The casting announcement follows Tuesday’s for four-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Erykah Badu, who will make a cameo appearance with musical performances. John David Washington and Samuel L.

Set in 1936 Pittsburgh during the aftermath of the Great Depression, The Piano Lesson centers on the lives of the Charles family in the Doaker Charles household and an heirloom, the family piano,...

Longtime Russo Brothers partner Mike Larocca is leaving the filmmakers’ studio Agbo that he co-founded at the end of this year, Deadline has confirmed. As the Co-Founder and Vice Chairman of Agbo, Larocca focused on creative development and production.

Said Joe and Anthony Russo in a statement to Deadline, “We founded Agbo with Mike seven years ago. In that time, he’s been an exceptional producing partner and an exceptional friend. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished together, and we know Mike will continue to do incredible work in his next endeavor.”

Deadline understands Larocca’s departure is amicable and he’s eyeing the next chapter of his career. He leaves Agbo on high note with the studio being reportedly evaluated at $1.1 billion after receiving a $400M investment (for 38% stake) from Tokyo based video game maker, Nexon Co. Ltd last year.

At Agbo, among other film and TV projects,...

It seems like only yesterday that a young Tom Holland joined the MCU as Peter Parker aka Spider-Man and was instantly given chaperons to try and prevent him leaking spoilers. Now four years since the Russo Brothers delivered Avengers: Endgame, Joe Russo is still hilariously ripping Holland for his loose lips.

Tom Holland, along with co-star Mark Ruffalo, became infamous for managing to accidentally reveal more than he should in interviews. In a TikTok video by Russo, shared on Agbo Films’ acccount, the director brings back the memories of what it was like working around Holland’s inability to keep secrets to himself back in the day. Check it out below.

Around the time of the Infinity War press tour, Holland was almost being kept on a leash, with Benedict Cumberbatch escorting him to many interviews and trying to prevent him making any big slip ups. In the years since,...

Even before the first two episodes of "Citadel" debuted on Prime Video, the series made headlines for breaking Hollywood records. A troublesome production process pit executive producers Joe and Anthony Russo (of "Avengers: Endgame" fame) against creators Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec ("Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol"). When Amazon sided with the Marvel directors, it led to the exit of Appelbaum, Nemec, and director Brian Kirk ("21 Bridges"), which meant costly reshoots were set to follow. And when I say costly, I'm under-exaggerating: "Citadel" ended up with a record budget of $300 million for its six 40-minute episodes. That comes out to a whopping $1.25 million per minute!

Does that jaw-dropping price tag correlate to a quality spy thriller? It depends on who you ask. /Film's review dubs the series a "Bourne ripoff with no identity," pointing to underdeveloped ideas and a lackluster romance. But according to Prime Video, not everyone feels the same.

Amazon’s action-thriller Citadel is about to establish what the studio must hope is the next big spy franchise. Created by David Weil and produced and directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, Citadel is a melting pot of genres and feels, blending classic espionage stylings with modern thrills, and sweeping romance with quick humor. Citadel is also the second-most-expensive series ever made, the first being Amazon’s other big gamble The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Helping to bring the ambitious world of Citadel to life is film composer Alex Belcher. Belcher is a longtime collaborator of the Russo brothers, stretching back to his time assisting composer Henry Jackman on projects like Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War. While Belcher cites legendary film composer Bernard Hermann as a major influence on his work for Citadel, the composer also enlists modern production and composing...

Jacques Haitkin, who served as the cinematographer on the first two Nightmare on Elm Street movies, has died. He was 72.

Haitkin died March 21 in San Francisco after a battle with Als and leukemia, his son Zak Haitkin told The Hollywood Reporter. “He always said he never worked a day in his life because he loved his job so much,” he noted.

With the premiere four weeks away, Prime Video has unveiled a new trailer for the second most expensive TV series of all time: "Citadel." Developed by the duo that gave us "Avengers: Endgame" and "Avengers: Infinity War" among other major Marvel Cinematic Universe hits -- Joe and Anthony Russo -- "Citadel" is set to kick off a new spy universe that will expand to include multiple untitled spin-off series set in India, Italy, and Mexico.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden are in the lead for the primary American iteration, which takes place eight years on from the fall of the titular independent global spy agency. Former Citadel agents and partners Mason Kane (Madden) and Nadia Sinh (Chopra Jonas) -- who had their memories wiped in the aftermath of the calamity -- are reunited on a mission to thwart Manticore, the very shadowy syndicate that brought about Citadel's end...

Eddie Redmayne is set to executive produce and star in Sky and Peacock’s new television series “The Day of the Jackal.”

The series, which is based on the seminal Frederick Forsyth thriller and subsequent award-winning 1973 film adaptation of the same name from Universal Pictures, will see the Academy, Tony and BAFTA award-winning actor take on the lead role of the Jackal.

According to Peacock and Sky, the series, which will begin production later this year, is a “bold, modern reimagining of the beloved and respected novel and film.”

“While staying true to the DNA of the original story, this contemporary drama will delve deeper into the chameleon like ‘anti-hero’ at the heart of the story in a high octane, cinematic, globetrotting ‘cat and mouse’ thriller, set amidst the turbulent geo-political landscape of our time,” the companies said in a news release.

Eddie Redmayne is set to look through the crosshairs of one of the most famous fictional assassins in the upcoming TV adaptation of The Day of the Jackal.

The Oscar, Tony and BAFTA winner will play the Jackal himself in the Sky/Peacock original series, based on the Frederick Forsyth thriller and subsequent award-winning 1973 film adaptation of the same name from Universal Pictures. Redmayne — who recently landed BAFTA, SAG and Golden Globe nomination for The Good Nurse — will also executive produce.

Prime Video has released the first trailer for "Citadel," its long-gestating spy action thriller series, executive produced by Joe and Anthony Russo and starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. All four creatives were on hand with showrunner David Weil for a virtual press conference, which doubled as a trailer launch event, live from Los Angeles today.

It's been a long road for "Citadel" to the small screen, and along the way, the series has racked up one of the biggest budgets of any TV show ever made. This is nothing new for Prime Video, which also spent almost half a billion dollars on season 1 of "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power." However, "Citadel" is attempting to create a new global franchise, with this first seven-episode series, led by Madden and Chopra, kicking off a slate of international spin-offs set in places like India, Italy, and Mexico.

Fresh off a standout performance in director Sophie Hyde's affecting drama, "Good Luck To You, Leo Grande," Emma Thompson is set to dramatically switch things up. The esteemed actress will soon play the role of "a widowed fisherman" who becomes involved in a teen's kidnapping in the action thriller "The Fisherwoman." Announced via Variety in early February, the film will be directed by Brian Kirk, who's known mostly for his work on TV shows including "Luther," "Dexter," and "Game of Thrones." And while little is known about the project at this time, it's intriguing if only for Thompson, who continues to make diverse and interesting role choices.

The actress has always sought out challenging projects. When asked for her advice to up-and-coming actors, she told BAFTA back in 2013, "Make your choices carefully and don't do things just because they might pay well, do the things that really interest you.

Emma Thompson is set to star in Brian Kirk’s upcoming action thriller “The Fisherwoman,” Variety can exclusively reveal.

In the feature, Thompson is set to play a widowed fisherman who, while trapped in a Minnesotan blizzard, interrupts the kidnapping of a teenager and soon finds she is the young victim’s only hope.

Kirk will direct from a screenplay by Nicholas Jacobson-Larson and Dalton Leeb, who have just been tapped to write the “Hot Wheels” movie for Warner Bros and Bad Robot. The duo are also currently working on “The Fall” for Amblin and Blackmaled Productions

Greg Silverman of Stampede Ventures, who are co-financing the film alongside Augenschein Filmproduktion, Film und Medienstiftung Nrw and German broadcaster Zdf, announced the project on Wednesday.

Mossbank is handling international sales and co-repping domestic rights with CAA Media Finance and Augenschein. Augenschein will also exclusively represent German-speaking European territories while Leonine is co-producing and distributing for German-speaking Europe.

Sienna Miller is opening up about the sexism she’s faced in theatre.

Speaking to Vogue for their December cover story, she said she was once “offered less than half” the weekly pay of her male costar for a play on Broadway.

While Miller didn’t name the show or producer as she “didn’t want to be mean”, she did end up taking the role despite the pay discrepancy.

“I said to the producer, who was extremely powerful, it’s not about money — it’s about fairness and respect, thinking they’d come back and say, ‘Of course, of course,'” she recalled.

The producer didn’t exactly see eye to eye, however.

“But they didn’t. They just said, ‘Well f–k off then,’” she explained.

After acquiring the streaming rights to the recent "Halloween" movies, the ongoing "Chucky" franchise, and even a "Friday the 13th" prequel series (yes, which means you can start placing your bets on when exactly we'll receive a crossover extravaganza), Peacock continues to make some pretty significant moves.

Variety reports that UK broadcaster Sky Studios and the Peacock streaming service have joined forces to create a series based on the 1971 political thriller novel "The Day of the Jackal," written by author Frederick Forsyth, and its classic 1973 big-screen adaptation of the same name, directed by Fred Zinnemann. Set in 1963 during the pivotal moment in history when French president Charles de Gaulle granted neighboring Algeria its independence, the fictional story follows a ruthless assassin who goes by the codename of "Jackal" who is recruited by the far-right Organisation de L'Armée Secrète (Oas) to take out de Gaulle in retaliation. The novel went on...

Sienna Miller says in a new interview with British Vogue that she once was told by an “extremely powerful” Broadway producer to “f*ck off” when inquiring about why she was “offered less than half” the salary of a male co-star.

The actress, who did not name the play, says she told the producer, “It’s not about money – it’s about fairness and respect.” Her thinking was she’d be met with an “Of course, of course,” but instead “they just said, ‘Well f*ck off then.’”

Miller has appeared in two Broadway productions: a revival of Cabaret when, in 2015, she replaced original star Michelle Williams in the starring role of Sally Bowles, and, in 2009, After Miss Julie, in which she co-starred with Jonny Lee Miller. Sienna Miller did not indicate in which production she experienced the problem,...
