In 2014, she was nominated in the Best Actress category at the 50th Guldbagge Awards, for her role as Ebba in Ruben Östlund's film Force Majeure.[3]
She played the role of the prime minister's wife in the TV series Occupied (2015). She played Amazon warrior Menalippe in the 2017 film Wonder Woman,[4] reprising the role the same year in the film Justice League, as well as the subsequent 2021 director's cut Zack Snyder's Justice League.
