Hailee Steinfeld On The New Addition To The Movie
All set to release, the movie is expected to create box office records with its brilliant storyline and amazing cast. Featuring Shameik Moore and Hailee Steinfeld’s character from the sequel, Karan Soni’s Pavitr Prabhakar is a prominent new addition to the team. Although his introduction might have come as a surprise to Soni’s co-stars, his character was initially developed, back in January 2005.
Shockingly enough, Hailee Steinfeld confessed to being completely unaware of Pavitr Prabhakar’s introduction while signing for the film. So much so, even Shameik Moore stated the same. Speaking exclusively with News18, the duo mentioned, “We didn’t know before. We didn’t know a lot, very far in advance,”. Hailee Steinfeld stated,
“So we were sort of discovering that character and the world of Mumbatam as we were making the project and it is so, so, so incredible to add something to this film and to the world of Spider-Man that we’ve never seen before and I am very excited about it.”
While Pavitr Prabhakar’s character is a new introduction to the movie, Hailee Steinfeld and Shameik Moore rejoiced in the introduction. Initially kept in the dark by Sony Studios, both the actors agreed on how brilliant the introduction was. They further discussed their personal attachment to their characters and mentioned looking forward to the live action on the big screen.
