Williams is tackling the role of the iconic actress for the upcoming movie My Week With Marilyn. It's the story of a young British film assistant tasked with showing Monroe a slice of English life while she's in the country filming The Prince and the Showgirl with Laurence Olivier in 1956.

The film's supporting cast reads like a who's who of British film: Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, Julia Ormond, Emma Watson, Toby Jones.
