She’s doing Ireland proud.

Saoirse Ronan‘s career just keeps going from strength to strength, as the Irish actress just landed an exciting new role in a satirical comedy-thriller.

The 29-year-old is set to star in ‘Bad Apples’ directed by Jonatan Etzler, who is known for directing the Swedish film ‘One More Time’.

According to US entertainment publication Deadline, which broke the news of Ronan’s involvement in the upcoming project, the film is believed to be an adaptation of Rasmus Lindgren’s debut novel De Oönskade (The Unwanted).

The plot for Bad Apples centres around Ronan’s character, Maria, who works as a primary school teacher and hopes to inspire her young students but faces challenges due to one ‘unruly and chaotic student’, which threatens to hurt the teacher’s career.

With the student in question’s behaviour becoming more disruptive, she accidentally takes and then locks the child in her home.

While she tries to correct her wrongdoing, ‘the class starts flourishing, and the staff and parents are thrilled with the improvement’.

This comes following the release of the Brooklyn actress’s role in ‘Foe’, with whom she stars alongside Paul Mescal.

If you’re looking to get a vibe for director Etzler’s works, One More Time is available to stream on Netflix.
