A Little Sneak Peek
The most recent guest on the Happy Sad Confused podcast was Lili Reinhart, who talked about her role as Betty Cooper on Riverdale and what she plans to do once the show ends next season. The actress gave a sneak peek at the kinds of parts she’ll be doing soon, though she didn’t go into all the specifics.
“I have a lot of sort of dramatic, deep roles in my future after Riverdale. Definitely, roles that you have not seen me in — I’m an adult! I’m an adult woman, and I’m going to start playing those more adult roles.”
Reinhart has shown in the past that she’s versatile by playing characters that have absolutely nothing in common with those she plays on Riverdale. In the film Hustlers in 2019, she gave a performance as a stripper, demonstrating that she’s capable of playing more adult roles. After acting the part of a teenager far into her 20s, she could be more than ready to move on to other things.
Lili Reinhart’s Character on Look Both Ways
In the meanwhile, if Lili Reinhart’s Netflix film is any indicator, she’ll succeed in parts that are more grownup after Riverdale. Look Both Ways is the top movie on Netflix as of August 19 and follows two distinct versions of Reinhart’s character, one of whom is pregnant and raises a family while the other relocates to Los Angeles with her closest friend to try to break into the animation industry. It’s good to see her in other parts, and we’re eager to see that continue once she finishes playing Betty Cooper, especially if it means she can finally play an adult. September marks Lili Reinhart’s 26th birthday.
It’s not unheard of for an older actor to play the role of a young person; nonetheless, it may get tiresome after it’s been done for a long time. After the conclusion of Riverdale‘s seventh season, the actors will be able to pursue other opportunities in the entertainment industry. Given that the characters will not only be seen to be adolescents once more but also transported to the 1950s, which is crazy even for Riverdale, it should be interesting to see how everything turns out this season.
The CW will air Riverdale‘s seventh and final season in the middle of 2023.
