Phoebe Waller-Bridge has spoken with the LA Times about the work on Solo: A Star Wars story as the droid L3-37.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge was one of those people who had never seen a “Star Wars” movie. So when the British actress-producer was asked to read for the role of a droid in “Solo,” the upcoming Han Solo spinoff film, she wasn’t entirely sure what a droid even was.
“I was like, ‘What are they talking about?'” she says with a laugh, describing her audition for the film’s original directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who thought of the actress after seeing her TV show “Fleabag” on Amazon; she’s also the writer-executive producer of the BBC America thriller “Killing Eve.” “But part of the joy of the character is that she’s a little bit more flexible and loose than previous droids have been, so I think it worked in my favor that I was a bit floppy in the room.”
