Kirsten Dunst says husband Jesse Plemons filmed chilling 'Civil War' scene as a favor: 'Nobody wants to play a role like that'

Kirsten Dunst is truly grateful that her husband Jesse Plemons stepped in to film a pivotal scene for Civil War, the new film in which she has the lead role, but that didn't make the two-day shoot particularly enjoyable.

Yahoo Entertainment spoke to the stars of Alex Garland's new movie, in theaters April 12, that depicts a dystopian near-future America embroiled in a second civil war. Dunst, Wagner Moura and Cailee Spaeny play journalists traveling from New York to Washington, D.C., as the federal government is under siege by a rebel coalition called the Western Forces. On their way, the group runs into several different American groups, but it's their meeting with an enigmatic soldier — played by Plemons — that is the most unsettling scene of the film.

"Another actor was actually supposed to play that role and couldn't play it. And so I kind of asked Jesse as a favor ... to do it for us," Dunst recalls. (The pair, who have two children, wed in 2022 after six years together.)

"He was going to be with the kids and in Atlanta while I was shooting this. So he really did this as a favor because nobody wants to play a role like that," Dunst says. "And it was really very terrifying even reading it in the script, and then shooting it over the course of two days. So I'm really grateful that he decided to do that for us. And that, you know, he's such a brilliant actor, so it really came across well."
