Adam Scott Gave Up His Summer Vacation to Make Time for Madame Web

The actor is about to enjoy his summer break but he was offered a project he couldn’t resist.

Over the last few years, Adam Scott has been swamped with work filming for different films and TV shows. The actor has been working non-stop over the last decade, in 2017 alone he’s done 5 films such as Fun Mom Dinner, The Disaster Artist, The Most Hated Woman in America, Flower and Little Evil. All these while also starring in several TV series like Big Little Lies, Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later, Ghosted and Do You Want to See a Dead Body?

Just when he’s finally about to take some rest and just relax, he got a call for Madame Web. The actor plans to take a time off and have a vacation over the summer, however, the universe had different plans for him. While he’s taking a time off portraying Mark Scout on Severance, he received a project offer, and he just couldn’t let it pass.

Adam Scott told Collider, “I actually didn’t think I was gonna work over the summer before we started Severance up again because we started in October, and I wasn’t planning on working at all before then. Then this came up, and I couldn’t resist.”

Scott has already been spotted filming for Madame Web last year. JustJared posted a photo of the actor on set last July 2022.
