00:00Jessica Drew in some way it's some kind of mother figure to Gwen in this movie she wants to try to protect her.
00:13How did it work in order to find the balance in your character between the action, all the stuff, let's just say the funny lines, and also this sense of trying to protect the younger version of herself?
00:30I think the great thing about working in animation is that you're kind of limited to the words so it was just kind of all on the page and of course it's such an intimate process with the directors and so you're kind of finding the voice and the relationship throughout the process and the advantage of this particular film was that I did get to work with Haley directly and so initially while I was kind of finding the relationship with Gwen in my head and through the directors,
01:00for that particular session I got to work with her one on one and feed off of her and it really was it was great but I you know I'm a big sister myself and so I'm not a mother yet but tapping into that kind of big sister mentorship was within me and you know even through my little sister I see the mistakes that she makes and that she's prone to make and that she has to go through herself and that's something that I see Jess kind of dealing with and reckoning with through Gwen.
01:28So it was very relatable in that way.
01:30Daniel, Hobie is a very specific character not only in his aesthetic but also in his character, the way he talks and the way he acts. Did you try to find inspiration in some real life character when you started thinking how to portray him?
01:46No I didn't, I listened to a couple, I read the comics, the spider punk comics to kind of get downloads off and I kind of read around him, read the history of the character and then like but the character is from Camden which is where I'm from, born and bred so I kind of know that energy.
02:07I think in this new movie we get to know a new version of Gwen, probably a deeper version we know in our backstory with her father. So my question is how did you change the way to approach her now that you get to know her maybe a little better compared to the first movie?
02:26Yeah absolutely. I mean I think the approach was just sort of was always going to be inherently different having had the time that I did with this character on the first go and seeing what parts of her resonated most with people.
02:44So walking back into this a second time is such a privilege in that sense because I feel armed with so much more information and perspective and of course just you know taking it one day at a time knowing what her story is and how that's developing and how that's deepening.
03:04It was so fun to just sort of make new discoveries as we went along. We never got a full script at the beginning of this so it was really sort of getting pieces of information as we were going and just taking all of that as it would come and breaking it down as we did and I say we, myself and the incredible filmmakers involved that helped every step of the way make this feel while in a recording booth like we were doing this in
03:33in real life. And yeah I would say that was the approach.
03:38I see that. And Shimi, I think this second movie has a very specific balance between all the multiverse side of the action but also it's very much a family drama. Miles has family issues, he needs to address them with his family.
04:01How do you work in order to find the right balance between the action side of Spider-Man and the private side of Miles?
04:10Honestly, this whole process for me is just embracing trust and believing in the directors because I really just follow direction. I go to the studio and I follow.
04:26I do what I'm told. I do what I'm told, you know, so and we've been working on this for four years so we'll do a session for six or seven hours, right? Maybe, you know, four or five times a month, you know, and that's four years. I mean, they have more than enough to, they get what they need from me, you know, and I trust that they're gonna put it together the right way, which it seems like they did that.
04:53They did that, yeah, yeah. Same thing with the animators. I trust that they're gonna make it beautiful, which they definitely did. And I know that my cast mates are gonna show up and do their best performance. So, and I also trust the fans to show up and, and, you know, give their feedback and etc. So it's a, it's a trust thing for me. That's how I get in the character, perform and, and, you know, walk through it, the experience.
