Is margaret qualley gay
Margaret Qualley and Aubrey Plaza in a film together is enough to receive anyone excited. That movie being sapphic is just the cherry on top.
The upcoming movie Honey Don’t!, directed by Ethan Coen and co-written with his wife Tricia Cooke, will follow Qualley as intimate investigator Honey O’Donahue, with Plaza playing a mysterious woman. Chris Evans will also star as a cult leader. Not much is known about the plot beyond that — including the nature of Qualley and Plaza’s on-screen relationship — but their sheer casting in a lesbian film together is enough to have fans hyped.

“Over the past 20 years, we’ve been writing this lesbian B movie trilogy,” Cooke said. “Not really a trilogy, but the idea was to write three queer B movies that I always thought would just gentle of sit in the drawer and our kids would look at one day when they were old and get some laughs. And now we’ve made one of
“Drive-Away Dolls” is a fabulously queer comic thriller opening Feb. 23 in area theaters. The film, directed by Ethan Coen, who co-wrote it with his wife, Tricia Cooke, opens in Philadelphia, , with a man known as “The Collector” (Pedro Pascal) being violently relieved of a briefcase that needs to be delivered to Tallahassee.
Coincidentally, Jamie (Margaret Qualley), who has just ended things with Sukie (Beanie Feldstein), is headed to Tallahassee with her adj friend Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan). The young women don’t know that the aforementioned briefcase (along with another questionable box) is in the trunk of the car they are delivering one-way. Moreover, Jamie is less concerned with arriving in Florida on time; her mission is to help Marian “loosen up,” as it has been several years since she last had sex with a woman. (Jamie, in contrast, has sex with a woman almost every day; hence the breakup with Sukie).
Meanwhile, the Chief (out Philly native Colman Domingo) has two Goons (Joey Slotick and C.J. Wilson) chasing after the women and the suitcase. Suffice it t
Margaret Qualley on her modern lesbian sex comedy, Drive-Away Dolls
In the first 10 minutes of Ethan Coen’s Drive-Away Dolls, there’s more sex than in the entire Coen brothers’ filmography as a duo. Jamie (Margaret Qualley), a loquacious firecracker, is introduced on-screen giving, and then pausing, cunnilingus when she answers the phone; on the line is Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan), a worrywart checking if Jamie’s still joining her at a gay club. When comic complications lead to the duo smuggling a mysterious suitcase that’s pursued by homicidal gangsters and blackmailers, it’s apparent that Drive-Away Dolls is like a raunchy, lesbian Fargo with a love story at its heart.
“I feel like what starts off as comic chemistry develops into idealistic chemistry,” says Qualley, “Such as the way in life, right? The guys that I like – my husband [Jack Antonoff], for example, he’s very funny.”
“Back-and-forth banter is important,” says Viswanathan,
“It’s also about being seen,” says Qualley. “Comedy is a way of saying, ‘I see you.’”
Drive-Away Dolls, then, is a comedy, and i
Margaret Qualley is well on her way to gay icon status. This year alone, the actress starred in instant queer classics like The Substance and Drive-Away Dolls. But is Qualley herself part of the alphabet mafia? After some recent pictures Qualley posted, sapphics across the internet aren’t sure.
