'Marty just instinctively knew Lily was the one.'
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Lily Gladstone's Killers of the Flower Moon involvement saw Martin Scorsese break his casting habits. Gladstone portrays Mollie Burkhart in Killers of the Flower Moon, a Native American woman in the Osage tribe married to Leonardo DiCaprio’s Ernest Burkhart. Gladstone and DiCaprio join a stacked Killers of the Flower Moon cast, including Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, Tantoo Cardinal, and John Lithgow.
Speaking with British Vogue, DiCaprio reveals how Scorsese broke his own casting habit for Killers of the Flower Moon. The Oscar-winning actor explained that the director’s casting of Gladstone was notable in that Scorsese did not make her audition nor even read for the part as he typically would. Instead, Scorsese “instinctively knew Lily [Gladstone] was the one” after a Zoom call.
“Lily is absolutely astonishing in this movie. She carries the entire film and the story. There was no reading. Marty just instinctively knew Lily was the one. There was a truthfulness in your eyes that he saw even over a computer screen. I’ve never known [Scorsese] meet somebody and then immediately afterwards have this gravitational pull and instinct to say, ‘Let’s not wait another minute.”
Why Lily Gladstone’s Role Is Vital For Killers of the Flower Moon Gladstone stands out from some of her fellow Killers of the Flower Moon co-stars, as this will mark her first time working with Scorsese. Before being cast in this upcoming crime drama, Gladstone featured in several indie movies and TV shows . Stepping into a Scorsese movie is a huge career move for Gladstone, marking her biggest breakthrough role.
Hence, Gladstone’s role is not only her first under Scorsese's direction but crucial in the movie’s story and Native American representation. Gladstone herself has spoken out about Hollywood’s challenging history of depicting indigenous people on screen, and Killers of the Flower Moon seeks to change that narrative. If Gladstone’s casting story is any indication, Scorsese has chosen the right actor to facilitate this paradigm shift.
