Following the release of ‘Die Another Day’, which earned her international fame, she returned to the stage to perform in a play called ‘Hitchcock Blonde’ in 2003. Although her performance was well-received, it was also controversial. In one scene, she wore only high-heeled shoes.

Her role in ‘The Libertine’, which starred Johnny Depp, was significant in 2004. She won the ‘Best Supporting Actress’ award at the British Independent Film Awards for her performance in the film. During the same year, she starred in two additional movies: ‘The Promised Land’ and the movie adaptation of the computer game series ‘Doom’.

The movie was both critically and commercially successful. Her supporting role in her next film, ‘The World’s End’ (2013), was also praised by critics.

Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward in ‘Thunderbirds Are Go’ is her role since 2015, which is a remake of the 1960s television series ‘Thunderbirds’. ‘Voodoo in My Blood’, Massive Attack’s February 2016 music video, featured her in the lead role and was inspired by the subway scene in the 1981 film ‘Possession’.
