Elisabeth Moss says ‘it’s no one’s fault’ for missing out role in The Power of the Dog

Elisabeth Moss has revealed that after, much discussion with the director, she missed out on a role in The Power of The Dog which went on to Kirsten Dunst.

The western drama, helmed by Jane Campion, took home many awards on all the major award shows this year. 

Addressing all this, in an interview with Empire, via ET Canada, Moss explained that letting go of the character Rose Gordon was “hard for her”.

The Handmaid’s Tale actress said that she was keen to do this much-lauded feature. “I really wanted to do it,” she added.

For this reason, the 39-year-old had several discussions with the director but unfortunately, she had to pass on the role due to “unforeseen circumstances”.

Despite feeling regretful about the missed opportunity, the actress pointed out that she was still understanding of the situation.

“Campion and I have been very kind to each other in that process, knowing that sometimes these things just don’t work out and it’s not really anyone’s fault,” she acknowledged.

Moss went on and praise Dunst, saying that she was an ideal choice for the role in the movie.

"I was actually so happy that Kirsten was doing it because I respect her so much as an actress," she mentioned.

However, the actress stated her desire to collaborate with Campion on the future projects is still present.
