'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse' director explains casting Daniel Kaluuya as Spider-Punk.
One of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse’s most notable elements is undoubtedly its vast array of Spider-people that populate the movie. This means that one of the tasks of the production team was selecting and casting all different people that would play iterations of the superhero. One of them was English star Daniel Kaluuya , who lends his voice to the most anarchist Spider-Man of all: Spider-Punk.
Last week, Collider and IMAX hosted an early screening of Across the Spider-Verse, and during the Q&A, Across the Spider-Verse co-director Joaquim Dos Santos talked to our own Editor-in-Chief Steve Weintraub about the casting process, and how deciding to use Kaluuya was a no-brainer. In the actor’s most famous roles, he plays American characters, which means we’ve gotten used to seeing him speak with the accent from this side of the pond.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT “Daniel Kaluuya is, I think, one of our great actors of our generation. I was surprised, honestly. You know, when I think of Daniel Kaluuya I think of him speaking in an American accent. We watched these interviews with him and it was just him doing this on a talk show, and we set that against the visuals of Spider-Punk as he was being developed, and just seeing a stagnant image of Spider-Punk set to his voice, it jumped off the page.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse follows Miles Morales as he fights a villain that threatens the balance of the multiverse. The voice cast also features Hailee Steinfeld, Oscar Isaac, Jake Johnson, Issa Rae, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Karan Soni, Amandla Stenberg, and Rachel Dratch. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is out in cinemas everywhere now. You can watch our interview with the directors below:
