And finally, I have to ask. This role is intense and to be honest, the way that you were fighting is kind of how I wished you beat up Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but it seems like you saved that fighting spirit for this role. How was it getting into that dark headspace?
Well Namor was actually after Surrounded so I put all my fury on our beautiful counterpart and co-leader Jamie Bell, he got a lot of things from me. It was like in every role that I play, I try to tap into what that character’s feeling. Simply put: this character has a dream and a desire for herself and there’s someone that’s blocking that, there’s someone that’s interfering with her dreams, and what do you do when your life is in danger? You’re in the middle of nowhere and all you have to do is defend yourself and think 10 steps ahead of everybody else.
I always just go straight to the script, straight to what I feel the character’s feeling and try to allow that to flow through me. Obviously, if you’re being provoked by your co-lead and he’s doing it really well, naturally those things will come up. I just always try to find the truth in every scene and everything that I do.
