Pop culture fans can see Corey Stoll in different roles including a giant, floating head named MODOK in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a doctor in FX’s The Strain, and a cop in West Side Story. The actor can be seen this week in the new Prime Video limited series, The Better Sister, starring Jessica Biel (Blade Trinity) and Elizabeth Banks (Power Rangers). In the series, two estranged sisters meet together after a husband, portrayed by Stoll, is murdered.

“No, that’s not a spoiler,” Stoll tells Nerd Reactor about his character’s end. “That’s like the one not spoiler that I can actually talk about. Yeah, I’m dead by the by the 20-minute mark.”

The series features flashbacks, explaining how the two sisters fell apart, and how Stoll’s Adam comes into the picture.

“I was warned that I would be coming back,” Stoll said. “I knew that wasn’t it for me. No, I love my role in here. I sort of come in, do my thing. All the scenes that I got to do were were really fun. And, you know, sometimes when you’re doing a mystery thing or a thriller thing, there’s a lot of plot. ‘It was here at this time, with the candlestick or whatever.’ And I didn’t have to do any of that stuff. It was just all emotions, relationships, conflict and working with with a really great cast.”

Jessica Biel portrays Chloe, a woman with a successful career and a promising future. However, that is turned upside down when Adam is murdered. Stoll and Biel can also be seen in the upcoming action-adventure comedy, Matchbox, starring John Cena.

“It was great,” the actor said about working with Biel in different projects. “It was a completely, completely different genres and and relationships. But she’s the best. She’s doing this where there’s obviously really intense, emotional stuff. She’s very present. And then this other project that we just did was, it’s an action comedy and she’s completely game. That’s the one thing. Every day she shows up to set and she’s just, ‘What are we doing? Let’s play.'”
