'Nimona': Eugene Lee Yang on Telling an Inherently Queer Story
In the world of Nimona, Netflix's new animated family film, knights are the heroes of the realm and celebrities in their own right, achieving their status via a televised knighting ceremony. For Ambrosius Goldenloin , the ceremony is marred by the fact that his boyfriend and fellow prospective knight, Ballister Blackheart , has seemingly murdered the queen and gone on the run.
What is it then about Ambrosius, specifically, that kind of hooked you as a character you wanted to play? I know this is based on the graphic novel, but did you get the chance to kind of have input with the creative team to expand Ambrosius from where he was on the page to now what we see on screen? On my personal level, I just really love on screen that the Ambrosius and Ballister relationship is established unabashedly up top in the film, and that they're really tender with each other the entire time. Even when they're fighting, they're very tender, and I think that was a really cool choice that was made.
