Although Rachel Brosnahan's namesake character on House of Cards might have been killed off, fans of the actress will get to see her on the big screen soon.

When Is The Trailer Release For Season 4?

Variety reported that Brosnahan will be starring in The Fixer, alongside James Franco and Melissa Leo. The publication also revealed that the actress already has a bunch of roles and has already wrapped on another big movie, The Finest Hours, starring Chris Pine and Eric Bana. The actress has also signed up for two WGN shows, Manhattan and Louder Than Bombs, which will premiere in spring 2016.

Rachel's death in season 3 of House of Cards came under some criticism. That twist in the plot didn't go down well with TVLine's Michael Ausiello, so he took the issue up with showrunner Beau Willimon. In an interview with the show's creator, Ausiello was concerned about the gimmicky nature of the deaths, and how easy it was for Frank to get anyone who threatened him out of his way. Ausiella straight-up told Willimon that he was not happy about Rachel's death on the show. Willimon tried to get to the root of Ausiello's discontent, asking him what it was exactly that bothered him about the choice they made.

"Well, let me ask you, were you not happy in that emotionally it was just a punch in the gut, but you felt like, 'Oh, that's where the story had to go?' Or did you think we made a mistake with the storytelling?" asked Willimon.

While stating that it was slightly lazy on their part to just murder these people, he added that it took away from the suspense of the Netflix drama. Willimon gave a very lenghthy explanation for the choices made by them, and also revealed that it was not something they conveniently resorted too. Rachel's death by oug Stamper (Michael Kelly) was up for a lot of debate even right up until the filming of the finale.

"But, ultimately, we arrived at our own moment of truth, which is Doug's moment of truth," he said "If Season 3 was about his recovery - physical and emotional - the [goal] of the recovery, for him, was getting back into [Frank's] inner circle... And the only way to do that was to for him to tie up this loose end that had been plaguing the Underwoods for the bulk of three seasons, and become a brother in blood with the man that he is willing to make any sacrifice for. If he had not killed her, then he would be reverting back to where he was in Season 2, where he was not being entirely truthful about Rachel, where he was not getting the job done. And he and [Frank] paid a price for that."

Season 4 is set to return in 2016.
