Elsewhere, Keira, who is estimated to have made more than £50million from more than 30 movies, detailed how motherhood is at the core of her decision making when it comes to potential roles.
Last year, the Brit turned down Apple TV’s adaptation of the Sarah Perry novel The Essex Serpent as she was put off by travel restrictions within the UK.
Keira recalled that Delilah was her youngest daughter and she influenced this career choice. Keira also said she did not want to stay on the opposite side of the country.
Keira will be returning to America to play the role Loretta McLaughlin. Loretta was the pioneering reporter who reported the Boston Strangler story in the 1960s.
Silent Night will be released on December 3, 2021 in UK cinemas as well on digital platforms.
