While viewers have yet to see Diana enter the story in Netflix’s award-winning historical drama, Debicki isn’t the first actress who will take on the role. Emma Corrin will play Diana Spencer in Season 4 of The Crown which is forthcoming.
Debicki is best known for her role in The Night Manager and parts in films such as The Great Gatsby, Everest and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. She appears alongside Robert Pattinson and John David Washington in Christopher Nolan’s ambitious and buzzed-about film Tenet which still awaits a release date.
