Mackenzie Davis’s acting career has been built largely from roles that sit slightly outside the conventional female-star repertoire: as a programming prodigy in AMC’s sleeper hit “Halt and Catch Fire”; as a cyborg in “Blade Runner 2049” and in “Terminator: Dark Fate”; as a lesbian closeted to her family in “Happiest Season”; and as an end-of-the-world thespian in “Station Eleven,” HBO’s adaptation of Emily St. John Mandel’s novel of a pandemic.
