Marvel Studios’ Lightning* star Julia Louis-Dreyfus recently spoke about the upcoming film, offering some insight into what fans should expect from it and the story it tells.
Louis-Dreyfus explains that the big MCU film will be driven by a grounded narrative and will focus on the “human story.” He also says that the creative team is trying not to use too much CGI in making the film.
In an interview with the New York Times, Louis-Dreyfus said: “It’s very well organized. Very methodical. And I don’t mean that in a negative way. Particularly in this movie, they’re very focused, frankly, on the human story, believe it or not.”
He went on to talk about the CGI in the film, saying, “They’re trying to get back to their roots, so to speak. And so there’s a lot of focus on that. They’re trying to stay away from as much CGI or anything as possible, so that the stunts are everywhere.
“And actually, I had to make a pair. Well, I make it sound like I’m flying through the air like Captain America or something, but I’m not. It’s just a very, very, very, very short stunt.
Louis-Dreyfus reprises her role as CIA director Countess Valentina Allegra de Fontaine Lightning*. She made her debut in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier on Disney+ when he talked about John Walker (Wyatt Russell) in abandoning the character of Captain America in favor of US Agent.
De Fontaine then appeared in the post-credits scene in Black Widow when he assigned Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) to eliminate Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner).
