In 2014, she was nominated in the Best Actress category at the 50th Guldbagge Awards, for her role as Ebba in Ruben Östlund's film Force Majeure.
She played the role of the prime minister's wife in the TV series Occupied (2015). She played Amazon warrior Menalippe in the 2017 film Wonder Woman, reprising the role the same year in the film Justice League, as well as the subsequent 2021 director's cut Zack Snyder's Justice League.
