Since 2019’s Little Women, Emma Watson hasn’t acted in a film or any other production. Throughout the epidemic, she was preoccupied with various advocacy endeavours, and her absence became noticeable in Hollywood owing of her prominent profile. The rumour mill eventually shifted its focus to the possibility that the Harry Potter star will retire from acting entirely.
We now know Emma is working on at least one major Warner Bros. project for HBO Max, however it isn’t a movie part like you might think. Actresses such as Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow have announced that they have “retired” from acting and are instead pursuing other passion pursuits. Given Watson’s sabbatical from acting and serious interest in activism, it’s easy to see how the suspicions began, especially once her agent’s response was included. Here’s why people were so enthusiastic about Watson’s concept early this year, and what he plans to do next.
Therefore, Emma Watson’s manager, United Entertainment’s Jason Weinberg, was prompted to come out and explain the dormant comment (via EW). Her social media profiles should have been labelled as inactive at the time.
Emma Watson, on the other hand, isn’t completely inert on social media; she was simply taking a break, much as she did with her acting career. She remained active on Instagram until the summer of 2020, and her final postings before going on hiatus dealt with racial inequity and social justice, and were published around the time of the Breonna Taylor response to the epidemic. Her account was quiet after that, until around five weeks ago, when she started writing about COP 26, the United Nations Climate Change Conference.
Emma Watson has been posting a lot lately, usually on subjects she cares about, such as climate change and meeting Al Gore. However, she took a break from that last week to return to her Harry Potter origins, proving that she isn’t “retiring.”
