Cause she's Carey fucking Mulligan and is awesome!
sharehaha indeed she is!
shareI totally forgot about her existence. She was like everywhere and then seems like disappeared. And she is only 38.
She is such a one note actress and charisma void. She has zero star power yet Hollywood kept and kept pushing her into everyone’s faces by keep casting her as supporting in big movies like Gatsby or pushing her into awards season with every low budget movie she made.
I guess at one point she was simply replaced by other similar actresses who stole her roles and awards thunder. And you know - age. She would not play those "young confused women twenty something" anymore. She was aged out.
she has a vagina
shareNot only in the teaser, but in the end credits she gets first billing as well. It's not alphabetical. This happens both in the single title screen cast credits and in the scrolling list of credits.
Personally, I always would list her first because she's Carey F*cking Mulligan, but I think in this case, it's to emphasize her character's role (even though second to Cooper's). Additionally, it helps lessen the impact of the bombardment of Bradley Cooper's name on the credits.
There may be some thinking on Cooper's part that he doesn't need it and by giving it to Mulligan, it's a way of appearing humble or recognizing/promoting her when it comes to awards (Oscar, etc...).
