She might not turn up until fairly late in this tease but the peerless Steep seems to have the role nailed. The film reunites Streep with the Mama Mia director Phyllida Lloyd. It also stars Jim Broadbent, Richard E. Grant and Olivia Coleman.

Margaret Thatcher was, of course, the first female Prime Minister of Britain an earned her “Iron Lady” nickname because of her reputation for being firm and not a person to mess with. Of course this also led to many, many Britains pretty much despising her (or at the very least her policies) The film is out around the end of the year and could be one to look forward to.
