She recently spoke to IndieWire about returning to work on her new show after having just given birth, saying: "I wasn’t ready to go back to work. I just had a baby so that was really what I based the pros and cons on and, ultimately, the script spoke for itself."

The Deadpool star was at the event to present the NBR Freedom Award to Flee, a Danish animated docudrama, and talked further about how much it resonated with her being an immigrant herself.
