Margaret Qualley, who delivered a mesmerizing performance in *The Substance*, returns with another promising film, teaming up with Aubrey Plaza. This lively pair takes on a darkly comedic lesbian film that promises a storyline you won't forget and performances that will leave you talking.
A hilarious detective comedy
The soon-to-be-released film, *Honey Don't!*, stars Qualley as Honey, a sharp and witty lesbian detective. The story kicks off with Honey diving headfirst in an investigation surrounding a shady church that might just be harboring a secret cult. Chris Evans jumps in as Priest Dean, a cult leader full mystery, and Aubrey Plaza, well-known from *The White Lotus*, steps in with a character whose motives are anything but clear.
The film's colorful cast doesn't stop there. You've got Billy Eichner, who you remember from *Gay Bros*, Charlie Day from *It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia*, and Gabby Beans, a Tony Award nominee. *Honey Don't!* marks an interesting chapter in a "lesbian B-movie trilogy" by Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke, hot on heels after their hit, *Drive-Away Dolls*, which also stars Margaret Qualley.
Behind-the-scenes buzz on *Honey Don't!*
In a recent chat, Qualley shared her excitement about her role in *Honey Don't!* "I had fun getting in touch with my more suave, mysterious side," she revealed. "Honey's as smooth and sneaky as her name implies." She chuckled over her detective skills, crediting them—half-jokingly—to her sleuthing adventures on Instagram.
Qualley also expressed her admiration toward Coen and Cooke's unique filmmaking. "No one else creates worlds quite like theirs," she said. "Working with them, you feel their mutual respect and affection in every frame. I love it." Though fans eagerly await a third movie in their trilogy, Qualley laughed about still waiting on her copy. "If they leave me out, I might just take offense!" she quipped.
The rising star: Margaret Qualley
Margaret Qualley's career continues its upward momentum. Her role as Sue in *The Substance* not only garnered critical praise but also scored her a Golden Globe nomination. The film, co-starring Demi Moore and Dennis Quaid, has been one 2024's most talked-about releases, snagged an Oscar win in Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Even though Moore was in line Best Actress, Mikey Madison took home that honor with *Anora*.
Looking ahead, Qualley has several intriguing projects lined up 2025. One that stands out a bit more than others, *Blue Moon*, where she stars alongside Ethan Hawke, playing late LGBTQ+ lyricist Lorenz Hart. Her roles continue showcase her versatility and knack bringing depth diverse characters.
