Olivia Colman's Wicker Premieres at London Film Festival, Sparks Viral Memes

In the film Wicker, Olivia Colman portrays a solitary fisherwoman in a medieval village, adapted from Ursula Wills-Jones's short story The Wicker Husband. The narrative follows her character as she commissions a basketmaker, played by Peter Dinklage, to craft a life-size wicker partner, portrayed by Alexander Skarsgård, who becomes a devoted companion, inciting jealousy among local women. The star-studded cast also features Elizabeth Debicki as the tailor's wife and Richard E Grant as the village doctor. Following the trailer's release, social media buzzed with memes, including Ikea's Instagram post showcasing rattan furniture with the caption 'husband material.' Colman remarked to the BBC about the unprecedented audience reaction, linking it to Skarsgård's unique outfit. Wicker is set to hit UK theaters on October 30.
