Gomez said in an interview with ComicBook.com‘s phase zero audio notation.
“I mean kind of all that, I wasn’t ready for that because I had no idea what it would be like or if people would like the character,” Gomez continued. “I just wish people would really like the character. That was the main thing. But I mean, it’s the repercussions of how many people come to me and tell me that it means a lot to them that I’m on screen and that I’m their actor and that they also get to see themselves with me on screen, which is It’s very important. And I’m so glad I’m going to be for them. Also, just the fact that some girls are like, they shiver when they see me, they’re like shake and some of them don’t even want a picture or forget to ask for a picture. And so, I’ll be like, ‘Do you want to take a picture?’ We can take a picture and they just want to hug me. It’s so cute. I’m so glad I can be that for little girls, you know?”
