Game of Thrones stars are rocking it in Hollywood now, and Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) is all about that X-Men life. As the release of her next film, New Mutants draws closer, there’s rising anticipation about the film’s performance, being in a weird timeline in the X-Men canon, and the stakes are high with Maisie being in the film. She recently spoke to Screenrant about the film, and some Game of Thrones stuff. Read on!
The film has been postponed multiple times, and the first trailer for the film dropped recently. She was asked if she took advice from Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) for the role, since Sophie recently had her own stint in the X-Men Universe:
“No, not really… Actually yeah, kind of a little bit. I called her when this was sort of coming about and was chatting to her about potentially signing up for something that’s long-term again and just ask her more questions about it and I always knew I wanted to do something big and long run after the show, but it’s come quite soon, so yeah, just had a lot of questions since she’d already made the leap“
The interviewer pointed out that she’s the seventh Game of Thrones star to star in a Marvel film, to which Maisie replied by saying “Marvel is huge.”
When asked about her accent for the film, Maisie talked about how her Game of Thrones experience affected her playing this part:
“I did a Scottish accent I did more of an Aberdeen Accents in a film that I did a few years ago, so I’d already been a little bit, but my acting coach from Game of Thrones when I was a child when I was a lot younger, she is Scottish, so I just asked her we went back and forth in the phone a few times, but then like this was a lot more bigger a lot more lines I use just the lady that I used on Game of Thrones and what really helpful was she has an app so you can do it when you’re away and you can do it on your own, that’s really been helpful because kind of embarrassing doing in front of someone else because when you do mess up you know it’s bad and they definitely know it’s bad, so it’s quite fun doing it on your own and, yeah, I find it okay. I really like doing accents because I hate my voice, I think it’s really bad it’s the most cringe-worthy voice ever, so I find it really helpful to create a new person as well because while Rahne’s really different to the kids that played before anyway, but off the back of Game of Thrones I find myself playing the same girl not over and over again, but little bit, so it’s nice to do an accent because then you feel like a new person.”
