Being a part of a Marvel series is hard work, though.
Several actresses from the Marvel Cinematic Universehave detailed the extensive workouts and dedicationthat goes into prepping for a role.
That’s not to mention the emotional toll of playing a darker character like Nico.
Luckily, another opportunity came along once her time as a Marvel hero came to a close.
The time travel component isn’t too far of a jump from her time with Marvel.
However, it flips the traditional romance genre on its head and brings a fantasy component into the mix.
But the fact that it was a love story is part of what drew Lyrica Okano to the project.
“I’ve always been a sucker for them,” she told The List.
Okano shared that “Press Play” allowed her to “bring some lightness back into my life.”
Of course, being in Hawaii before the start of the pandemic only added to the experience.
There’s so many beautiful memories," she said.
Okano added that she and Clara Rugaard spent time hanging out by the pool.
Several years after filming “Press Play,” it was finally released.
A lot has changed since then.
Now, I live in West Chester, Pennsylvania and things are so different.
Meanwhile, this film is coming out.
Life is wild."
