If you're a fan, you're going to get what you want, you're going to get what you need. If you're not a fan, if you don't know anything about this, you're going to get everything you need to know to learn about what this [character] is. And you're going to become a fan.

Aldis Hodge: There's a great balance of tone. That's the thing that I found most impressive. Just that the tone is right. Like Sarah said, It is dark but not depressing. There’s levity where you balance out the humor, but it's not caricature or silly. Mohammed Amer: I personally love the story. All superheroes are based off [of] super rationality, super prophetic understanding. There's the orphan, there's the kid that's lost and finds his way that becomes champion, and this is similar, but yet very different. [Khandaq] is also a country that is a fictionalized Middle East. That’s something we've never seen before.
Mohammed Amer: I'm terrified of him. So he's scary, but you also feel very connected to him in some weird way. Specifically for our characters, Sarah and I.

But do we want to get zapped? So there's just a lot of unknowns.
