“The script was really funny,” the Birdman actress said.

“It just didn’t feel like the right time for me. A franchise is a big commitment — it’s a whole thing. I think maybe I need a minute before I dive back into that water.”

She said that she would like to play a crazy or dangerous character, and maybe even a villain in future.
