"I just really liked the idea of a children's movie in the format of a heist film. I don't really think that's been done before and honestly, watching the movie, it was cool to see how much action was in it and how fun and dynamic and stimulating it was. But beyond that, I really liked the character of Diane. I liked integrating her past into who she is today. I thought that was a really interesting part of the acting element and of figuring out what her truth is," Beetz shared.

And I don't really want to do that anymore. I think it limits me, limits my life, limits my joy. And so that's something I'm trying to change about myself," Beetz said.
