Lupita Nyong’o shares hopes for The Wild Robot 2
Lupita Nyongo'o is hopeful that she can return as lovable android Roz in a sequel to the animated flick 'The Wild Robot'.
Lupita Nyong’o would love to make a sequel to ‘The Wild Robot’.
The 41-year-old actress stars as the lovable and inquisitive android Roz in the upcoming animated Dreamworks movie - which is based on the Peter Brown novel of the same name - and has shared her excitement over a possible follow-up flick.
When NBC Insider asked the ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ actress if she would be happy to appear in a potential sequel, she said: "Oh, my goodness, yes. I mean, I love Roz. I love this project.
"It’s a good thing Peter Brown wrote three books! I would revisit her in a heartbeat."
Director Chris Sanders added that he and the rest of the team would also be keen to continue working on the series.
He said: "I would very much like to. I think the entire crew really, really involved themselves in this film in a way that I’ve never seen before, myself included. This was a labor of love on the part of everybody at the studio, and yes, I think I’d love to go and stay here for a while."
‘The Wild Robot’ - which also stars Mark Hamill, Pedro Pascal, Bill Nighy and Catherine O’Hara and is due to hit cinemas on 18 October - follows Roz the android who comes to learn how to adapt and communicate with the local wildlife after being stranded on a remote island.
While she loved working on the picture, Nyong’o previously admitted making the flick hadn’t been a completely smooth experience after finding that the "super-positive voice" she used for Roz strained her vocals and gave her a polyp - a non-cancerous growth that can form on one or both vocal cords.
During an appearance on ‘Late Night with Seth Myers’, she told the host: "[Roz] goes through this journey to finding, I guess, what we would call humanity, like empathy.
"And so at the start of the movie, I chose to do this very, kind of like, super-positive voice. And it was, like, just not in my vocal register, which is a lot lower.
"I did it for way too long over a number of days, and I got a vocal polyp."
