Julie Andrews isn't sure what character she plays in 'Aquaman:' 'I play some kind of a sea serpent'
- Julie Andrews said she isn't exactly sure what character she plays in 2018's "Aquaman."
- "I play some kind of a sea serpent or something," she said.
Julie Andrews expressed some confusion about the nature of the character she voiced in 2018's "Aquaman" in an interview with Vanity Fair.
In the interview, Andrews was asked about the origins of her pivot to voicing acting over the last decade, to which she responded: "Yes, it sort of started and grew—and it's wonderful. I don't have to get hair and makeup anymore. I just go into the studio and do my voiceovers."
Andrews continued: "It's a whole other kind of moviemaking. You just chuck everything at the wall and they take what they want out of it. So there's a lot of experimentation."
Andrews — who is best known for her work in Hollywood classics like "Mary Poppins" — continued to break down some of her most recent voiceover work, including "Aquaman."
"Apart from 'Despicable Me' and 'Bridgerton,' and, umm … I'm not going to mention 'Aquaman,' where I play some kind of a sea serpent or something. But what interesting things to get one's voice into!" she said.
"Of course, now, 'Minions' is just coming out where I play Gru's mum. I love the Minions. I adore them."
In "Aquaman," Andrews voices an underwater sea creature called the Karathen, who is the most powerful being on the planet and aids Jason Momoa's titular superhero in his quest to unite the underwater world.
Back when the film was released in 2018, producer Peter Safran also told Vanity Fair that Andrews recorded her scenes for the film at her home with director James Wan dialing in on a conference call to direct her.
"She was fantastic," Safran said. "She really nailed it, gave James everything he wanted, and that was it. You listen to Mary Poppins, and you listen to the Karathen. And if you don't? You do it at your own peril."
It has yet to be announced whether Andrews will reprise her role in the upcoming "Aquaman" sequel. The film is officially titled "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" and is currently slated for a March 2023 release.
