Watch the full HisDarkMaterials Hall H panel from SDCC 2019, featuring James McAvoy, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ruth Wilson
The trailer teased the war with the evil organization known the magisterium, with Lord Asriel on one side and Mrs. Coulter on the other. Also mentioned was the child abduction plot at the center of the show.The preview neatly summarizes Miranda’s mercurial character in one sentence: “I can fight and I can fly.”During the panel, the ensemble cast discussed what drew them to the project, with Miranda revealing a personal connection to the source material.
“My first two days of filming were a very long, complicated sequence where I’m pulling all the pulleys and ballasts in my hot air ballon, and the next one was a three day bar fight, it was Perry different from ‘Mary Poppins,’” Miranda added to laughter from the room. For Wilson, the draw was playing a character who was described to her as “the cesspit of moral filth and the mother of all evil.”
“At the beginning, she’s lying all the time and she’s quite arrogant, she’s much more innocent,” Keen said. “Episode one she’s running around roofs and then bam, life hits her in the face and it makes her grow so much.” The Chris Weitz-directed vehicle faired pretty poorly at the box office and was roundly panned by critics and audiences.and the BBC will be hoping for a better response this time around.
