Sophia Lillis recently joined us back on the Popternative show to discuss playing Doric in the box office hit. In the interview, Sophia revealed that the cast actually played a round of D&D in their very own movie characters as a way to get to know each other:
“I remember the first day we got together, we did like a first session of D&D together to really get to know our characters and to get to know each other. And it was a really good icebreaker I think because we got to play as our characters. It was set kind of after everything happened in the first movie, just to kind of see how it goes […] and it ended up being a lot of fun. I was a little worried because it’s kind of difficult when we shot it was during covid, so it’s going to be a little more difficult to hang out on the weekends.”
