David Dastmalchian walks us through how he brought Veb to life via motion capture in AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania!
David Dastmalchian returned to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, not as Scott Lang’s good pal Kurt, but rather, as a curious ooze-producing creature who’s obsessed with holes — Veb.
DAVID DASTMALCHIAN: [Laughs] It's really good. It's really, really good. It's been such a joyful moment for me in my career because I've never gotten to bring a character like Veb to life. I've never gotten to be part of an experience like that sitting in a cinema and knowing that I was there on set wearing a mo-cap suit, finding this body and this physicality and this voice, but never having actually seen anything.
So I go, I get into this weird gray onesie with little dots on it – I've never done this before — and I'd begun this process of the body and the movement and the physicality of Veb, and feeling what that would look like, and the voice, and what that would feel like, and then I’m, all of a sudden, doing scenes with Paul and Kathryn, and all the rest of the Freedom Fighters who were amazing, Katy and [William Jackson Harper] and everybody else. It just felt like magic.
DASTMALCHIAN: Sure! Well, I hope that Disney will share some of those images with you because I think they're really powerful and I think it's exciting for people who are into this kind of stuff to know that it's not limiting and it doesn't inhibit your creative process at all. Nor, to my opinion, does working in front of a blue screen because, to me, just like in the theater, you're having to use your imagination to create the environment with which you're playing.
I love that. You say how joyful it was for you and now it truly does feel like you're sharing that joy with others via the final character.
