Blanchett next appeared in Steven Spielberg's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" (2008), as the villainous KGB agent Col. Dr. Irina Spalko, Spielberg's favourite villain from the entire series. The film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences but was a major box office success, grossing over $790 million worldwide. In David Fincher's Oscar-nominated "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", she co-starred with Brad Pitt for a second time, playing the title character's love interest, Daisy Fuller. In the same year, Blanchett voiced the character of Granmamare for the English language version of Hayao Miyazaki's "Ponyo", released in July 2008.
