Missing Matthew Macfayden’s portrayal of Tom Wambsgans in ‘Succession’? Here’s where you can catch him next

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It’s excruciating to witness a man who professed his love for Elizabeth Bennet in ‘Pride and Prejudice’ in the dreamy role of Mr Darcy to have been reduced to insignificant roles. Matthew Macfayden’s career has suffered some blows, but the actor has managed to keep his head above the water. However, with ‘Succession’, Macfayden’s career skyrocketed beyond his wildest dreams. His gritty portrayal of a servile Tom Wambsgans, who only wants to marry Shiv Roy for what her family offers him, is extremely delightful to the viewers.

Macfayden is an alumnus of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and was immensely inspired by Ingmar Bergman's 'Fanny and Alexander' to pursue acting. For his performance in ‘Succession’, Macfayden was rewarded with a Primetime Emmy Award in 2022 in the 'Best Supporting Actor' category, and given his home runs in the final season of the show, many more accolades can be expected for him. ‘Succession’ has given Macfayden a platform to rebuild his career and the English actor has grabbed it with both hands as he readies himself to sink his teeth in two new projects, Mimi Caves' 'Holland, Michigan’ and Marvel's ‘Deadpool 3'.

What are Matthew Macfayden’s next projects?

Macfayden is now a leading man in a feature film opposite the gorgeous Nicole Kidman. He is slated to lead ‘Holland, Michigan’ by director Mimi Cave, which is supposed to be a thriller centered on a woman (played by Nicole Kidman) who suspects her husband of cheating. It’s a character journey where the woman enters into an affair of her own before learning about her husband’s dark secret life. Rachel Sennott and Gael García Bernal are also expected to star in this thriller.

Although, the most significant addition to Macfayden’s resume would be a spot next to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in ‘Deadpool 3.’ The English actor is all decked up to feature across the two biggest stars of Hollywood and embark on a ‘Marvel'-lous journey with them. Not bad for 'Succession's' Tom Wambsgans who lived at the mercy of Roys all his professional life.

When will Matthew Macfayden’s projects release?

‘Deadpool 3’ is expected to release in 2024, while 'Holland, Michigan’ might take another year to reach theaters near you.
