When Ewan McGregor appeared in Channel 4’s Fargo recently, he talked about the difficulties involved in playing two different characters in the same TV series.

But that task was pretty simple compared to the challenge faced by Swedish actress Noomi Rapace in the new Netflix movie What Happened to Monday.

The 37-year-old actress, best known as computer hacker Lisbeth Salander in the movie The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, plays seven identical sisters in the sci-fi drama that features a star-studded cast, including Glenn Close, Willem Dafoe and veteran actor Robert Wagner.
