Kidman is not the first female actor to have criticised the director – whose potential next projects include biopics of Sinatra and Jesus – for his choice of subject matter

Nicole Kidman has expressed the desire to work with director Martin Scorsese in a new interview – as well as her scepticism about whether it might happen.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, Kidman said: “I’ve always said I want to work with Scorsese, if he does a film with women.”
