Launching into a discussion about the film, which explores a futuristic world where everyone is conventionally attractive, both actors laugh at the idea that anyone in the movie could be considered "ugly." They then get serious, touching on the many important themes baked into the story, from questions regarding free will to the pitfalls of technological dependence.
Powers, whose previous work includes Straight Outta Compton and The Perfect Find, goes on to discuss the red pill/blue pill situation the narrative presents, the nature of adapting a novel for the big screen, and what signing up for a trilogy means to him. Castellanos, who's known for properties like 13 Reasons Why, then jumps in to chat about working with director McG, his upcoming projects, and fan expectations.
