![]() I would have loved to have done more action but it was hard with the baby. It certainly opens you up more to the fan world. Was that the case with your adventure in the MCU? DL: I suppose it is. Being pregnant at the time just gave me a deeper connection to the material and that was special.ĭA: A lot of people tend to think that, these days, landing a role in a superhero film-especially one that’s part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe-is a huge step forward for an actor that can open up many new doors. Also, I loved the scene when my character tells Daisy that she is her mom. They really have a family vibe on that show and that’s something really special. The cast and crew are also amazing I was so happy to be able to work with them again. Be raw and liberated, even if it’s once in a while.ĭA: Before “Altered Carbon,” one of your most popular roles was as Jiaying in season two of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” What do you remember the most about being on that show? DL: Being pregnant! Just kidding. Also I think we need to embrace our nature a bit more. ![]() That scene and how it was done, with the care and consideration that was put into it, is an example of Hollywood working well. We had a female director, Uta Briesewitz, which made me feel good and the crew could not have been more on point and considerate. James and Laeta were incredibly supportive. Still nervous, but the idea of it became empowering. Did this come as a surprise to you? Do you think that the showrunners approached this matter in a positive way? DL: It was a surprise, yes, but once I read the scene I was excited. Jacket by Opening Ceremony x Jeremy Scott, bracelet by Nouvel HeritageĭA: The show also tackles stuff like nudity, particularly in the famous naked sword fight. ![]() I don’t know what it would be like to live forever … I just know it would be expensive. I think the Queen of England even stopped writing to people who turned 100 because there were just too many. Now in some countries centenarians are more and more common. We are losing our sense of balance and equilibrium. We may not be living forever now, but a few centuries ago it was extremely rare to live to 100 life expectancy was around 50. Many large countries are not economically equipped to deal with that. A friend of mine was doing research for a script and spoke to a few futurists all of them agree that mass unemployment due to AI and robots is going to be the greatest threat to humanity. Beyond the obvious “what would it be like to live forever” what else are some of the show’s most interesting thinking points? DL: In some ways I feel like we as a society are not ready for the wave of tech coming fast and furiously toward us. You have to keep going back for more.ĭA: Like any good series, “Altered Carbon” forces its viewers to ask some deep, philosophical questions. It’s like looking at an intricate painting. All the little details start to come through. Once you have watched it, watch it again because it’s even better. You have never seen anything like this done on television. For those who haven’t seen it yet, what would be your number one reason to start binging the series now? Dichen Lachman: I really believe there is nothing like it. She is, in short, quite the real super-heroine.ĭAMAN: It’s been a while after “Altered Carbon” started airing, but people are still excited about it. Her filmography so far includes “Dollhouse,” (which was directed by Joss Whedon of “The Avengers” fame, among others), “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” (which is set in the same universe as “The Avengers” and the rest of the Marvel CInematic Universe) and, more recently, hit series “Altered Carbon” as well as a couple of episodes in “Supergirl.” Throughout her career, the Australian actress of German and Tibetan descent (she was actually born in Kathmandu, Nepal), took on increasingly demanding roles while also tacking the challenges of motherhood. And that’s perhaps why Dichen Lachman finds herself quite at home in the genre.
