The Leftovers actor Carrie Coon has been revealed as the voice behind Proxima Midnight, a member of villain Thanos' Black Order which will be making an appearance in upcoming Avengers: Infinity War.
The news of Coon's role was shared by Infinity War director duo Joe and Anthony Russo in an interview with British magazine Radio Times.
"Carrie Coon is Proxima Midnight and you may know her from season three of Fargo or The Leftovers," Joe Russo had said.
Proxima Midnight is the only female member of the Black Order. She is armed with a spear that possesses the power of a time-distorted sun and is coated in an incredibly deadly toxin.
Coon also shared the news on Twitter, saying she had performed facial motion capture for the role while she is pregnant.
"It's true! My voice and a dazzle of gifted animators have teamed up to play Proxima Midnight," Coon tweeted.
"To be fair my face is in there somewhere. #MoCapWhilePregnant," she said in another tweet.
