Carrie Coon Plays Proxima Midnight in Avengers: Infinity War
We finally know who is playing each member of the Black Order in Avengers: Infinity. We have Terry Notary as Cull Obsidian and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor as Ebony Maw and now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, we have Carrie Coon (Fargo, The Leftovers) as Proxima Midnight. The actress confirmed the news on Twitter and even revealed that she was pregnant during shooting.
The character is a member of the Black Order, a group of ruthless aliens that serve Thanos in his villainous quest. She is arguably the most deadly of her group, and was created by comic book writer Jonathan Hickman and debuted along with her colleagues in 2013's New Avengers No. 8 during the "Infinity Stone" storyline.
Summary: As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.
