Out July 12, 2024 On Disney+
Uma, now headmistress of Auradon Prep, sends an invite to Princess Red, the rebellious daughter of the tyrannical Queen of Hearts from Wonderland. The Queen of Hearts has long held a grudge against Auradon, especially Cinderella, and seizes the opportunity to seek revenge when she drops her daughter off at school. When the Queen of Hearts incites a coup against Auradon, Red must team up with Cinderella’s perfectionist daughter Chloe and travel back in time using a magical pocketwatch to try to undo the traumatic event that leads Red’s mother down her villainous path.
Criticólogos:
I wonder if you could change your character with some other character, which one would it be and why?
Peder Lindell:
Oh man, I don’t know. Like if I could play one of the other roles. Difficult question. I know a bunch of Roles that could be pretty fun. Maybe I can be one of the evil in the Black Lagoon. I don’t know, maybe Captain Hook would obviously be fun to play. Or the Queen of Hearts. I mean, come on, that’s iconic. Yeah, a lot of good stuff.
Criticólogos:
I want to I want to talk about your character. How much of your character is you being you or you just following the script? Be honest.
Peder Lindell:
It’s I’m completely honest with this. It is entirely me. I mean, there were the guidelines set, which were, you know, the script and Morgan would face my mom. So there was some history and some rules that I was following. But I did the audition with who I thought Morgan was initially, and it was it was me bringing myself into the character and what I saw Morgan as like how he carried himself, like a little lower and he talks a little bit more like this, like a gremlin. And that’s been super fun because I got the opportunity to create a new Disney villain. I mean, not many people are able to do that. I’m just so grateful.
Criticólogos:
If you had if you had the opportunity to travel in time DeLorean and went back to the future or back to the past, right? what is something that you in this world would change in a positive way?
Peder Lindell:
I don’t think anyone should have to go hungry. You know, I don’t think anyone in this world should have to worry about getting clean water. You know, a kid growing up, we have no choice. Where we’re born, we are brought into this world. So if there was a way for me to go back in time and change something along the way that, I think that would be really cool.
Criticólogos:
If you could speak to Morgan, what piece of advice would you tell him that? When it comes to handling the task he was given.
Peder Lindell:
Oh, boy, I don’t know, maybe. Be a little less dumb. A little less distracted.
Criticólogos:
Any other projects that we can see you soon? If you can mention something.
Peder Lindell:
You know, there’s a lot of stuff in the works, but coming out soon is The Scrapped short film that I worked on. It’s coming-of-age skateboarding, Love Story, and Montana, and it’s fantastic. There’s a feature film coming up and, I’m super excited to share it with you all.
