We chat with VillainsOfValleyView stars RealLucyDavis & japastu chat about playing villainous parents and dealing with practical effects on their new DisneyChannel series:
The Villains of Valley View, which premieres on Disney Channel June 3, prepares to redefine the meaning of family bonding. The new series follows a family of supervillains who are forced to change their identities and live in hiding after going up against the League of Villains. Between the success of Disney's Descendants film series and the popularity of Marvel shows like Loki, it comes as no surprise villains - especially ones attempting to reform - are all the raise.
But it has been so much fun with the special effects - the practical special effects, not just visual CGI. The special effects guys have pizza ovens going haywire, and we have wires all over so special effects artists can make things fly around the room. It's a pinch-me type moment, because of the kid in me. The first time I went on a Universal Studios tour when I was a kid, I just wanted to be a part of this world, and we are now.
Lucy Davis: It's interesting, isn't it? Because as villains, and certainly everyone outside the family, we kind of don't give a monkey's, do we? Well, each to their own. But now we're in a family; we're all the same. Now, it's suddenly very Lord of the Flies, isn't it? Because who within the villains is the most villainous or has the hierarchy? I think probably Surge.
Did each of you watch any Disney shows or films when you were in your youth? Which inspired you most? And I also got a chance to be a part of some Disney shows. Shake It Up, and I played Jessie's dad on Jessie. But what I loved about this one in particular was that they're including the parents in more of a way, rather than just leaning into them going,"Now, you kids..." We're part of the group, and I like that a lot.
