Renate Reinsve is being considered to star in Mia Hansen-Løve's Mary Wollstonecraft biopic If Love Should Die, according to Deadline Hollywood.
The Norwegian actress, fresh off her Oscar-nominated turn in The Worst Person in the World, would play the 18th-century English writer, philosopher, and women's rights advocate.
First announced in 2024, the film focuses on the last 12 years of Wollstonecraft's life, a period marked by personal upheaval and philosophical development.
Hansen-Løve is known for intimate, intellectually rigorous character studies. Reinsve has built her reputation playing morally complex women who resist constraint.
Details remain limited. Whether the deal closes is unclear.
