Chloe Grace Moretz, a new generation of Hollywood actors at the Morning Show, talked about her plans for an acting career — an actor who wanted to be in a cosmic film. Grace said she wants to join the "Sea Flat King" sequel, she is one of the main stars in the "Sea Flat King" series, the comedy film is about to shoot a sequel, Grace hopes to continue to participate in the series. She also revealed that she admired Patty Jenkins — if Jenkins had created Tom and Jerry. Grace was one of the stars in the live-action film Tom and Jerry, which did not meet the audience's requirements and had a low rating. Fans believe that Tom and Jerry does not continue the effect of the animated film, the work has no place for innovation, and the trailer is not new. Hollywood critics are also not optimistic about the box office of the live-action version of "Tom and Jerry".
The script of the "Sea Flat King" series is Marvel Comics, when this comedy movie was born, Disney had acquired Marvel Studios, the MCU working group belonged to Disney, and the producer of the film was not Disney but Universal Pictures, which showed that Disney did not have the potential to see "Sea Flat King" at that time. Universal Pictures' investment in this work is not very large, from the ratings and box office of the first two films, the return rate of "Hai bian Wang" is very high, Disney did not choose this script at that time, mainly because the positioning of the film does not conform to Disney's long-term planning - sitcom genre films, in the first few stages of Marvel, it seems to be a bit "pulled down". However, in the fourth phase of the MCU plan, "Wanda Vision" has also embarked on the sitcom route, and it seems that Universal Pictures is more forward-looking in terms of "Hai bian Wang".
Judging from the script, "Hai Bian King" actually belongs to the "Dark Series", and the comic version has some controversy, which is why Disney eliminated the script in the first place. After Universal took over, the series became more of a teenager, and it became a comedy. When the first series of "The Sea King" was released, Grace, who was only 13 years old at the time, became popular because of this, and she became a young Hollywood actress with the role of "Super Killing Woman". She has since won the Teen Choice Award, mostly related to the role. Grace wants to join the sequel to "Sea Flat King", and she also wants to continue to participate in the role of "Super Killing Woman", which seems to be a natural thing, after all, Universal Pictures's definition of "Sea Flat King" at the beginning was a trilogy model. At least in the third series, the main characters will not change actors without unexpected circumstances.
However, "Tonight Show" Jimmy Fallon revealed another statement - because Grace has grown up, Universal Pictures' positioning of "Super Killer Girl" is still the image of teenagers, and the audience seems to be not interested in the image of these actors when they grow up, and the main roles in the third sequel to "Hai Bian King" have the possibility of changing actors. Fans who have been following Hollywood news know that the sequel to "Hai Bian Wang" was included in the "future plan" of Universal Pictures as early as four or five years ago, but the filming progress of the film has been far away. In 2021, due to the special period that caused financial problems for the big pictures, everyone seemed to have no confidence in this sequel. Previously, Aaron Taylor Johnson revealed on social platforms that the third series of "Hai bian King" will achieve the grand situation of "full return", but the statement of whether Grace can return is not certain.
The second sequel directed by Jeff Wadlow has already seen a box office decline, and I (watching the film with smugness) also feel that the only work that can produce a splash in this series is the 10-year version of the main film. Therefore, Grace wants to join the sequel to "Hai Bian Wang", and it seems that Universal Pictures has not yet determined the casting of the candidate. Grace became famous very early, but her acting career does not seem to be developing very quickly, although she is still very young, but many fans who grew up watching her think that her starting point is very high, but the progress rate is somewhat slow. Tom and Jerry and Mother vs Robot are two of her productions this year, and both series seem to have had some problems, especially the live-action version of Tom and Jerry is unsatisfactory and too far from the classic effects of the original cartoon.
Jenkins is the director of Wonder Woman 1984, and she is also one of the more senior female directors in Hollywood, although her style is more refined, but most of the works she directs are relatively large-scale films. Although Tom and Jerry is a derivative of the animated film, the series is a blockbuster among animated films, so Grace said that it would be nice if Jenkins created Tom and Jerry. This view also shows that the live-action film Tom and Jerry is not very well-created and cannot show the social significance of long-form animation works. Jenkins' creation is based on social foundations, and she works particularly well in creating sequels or film adaptations, which is also a characteristic of female filmmakers.
