Bruccoleri previously teased what fans can expect.
“From an early age, she didn’t seem to have the desirable qualities like her sister,” Bruccoleri told The Hollywood Reporter. “He starts to believe that he’s inherently unlovable.

He continued: “It is thought to be a love story, I personally don’t see it that way. I think it is a love story between Mary and him.
Bruccoleri was excited to reveal her role, adding, “With Mary, she doesn’t understand the rules of the game. She tries incredibly hard to be a people pleaser. And she does that by studying — really deep studying, because that’s what she knows. That’s how her brain works.”
He added: “She is learning how to be loved like her sister, [and] to his mother, especially. But you’re just going about it completely the wrong way. It still doesn’t work. I think I really relate to that in Mary, her diligence. That’s how I approach my work as well – I do it through study rather than feeling. And I’d be more concerned about the money I’m preparing for something.”
