“It happened very organically and naturally,” Garfield says. “It’s a really, really brilliant idea of Jonathan [Cavendish] and Andy [Serkis] to cast Claire in the role. It was just their awareness that was the right choice that really kind of made it make sense. And I really do love Claire. It was a very easy, organic thing to create with her.”
Sharing similar sentiments, Foy adds, “As soon as we started working together, I’d just really felt like I’d known him forever. And I just love acting with him […] I just love being in scenes with him. I think he’s the most open, exciting actor there is, to be honest.”
