Alison Sudol has described Queenie Goldstein as an 'interesting' character to play in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Alison Sudol in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Sudol is part of the all-star cast of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which is based on the book by J.K. Rowling. Rowling herself has penned the screenplay while David Yates, who directed a string of Harry Potter films, is in the director's chair.
Sudol is set to play Katherine Waterston's sister Queenie and the actress has been dropping hints as to what we can expect from her character's magical powers.
Speaking to EW, Sudol said: "She's basically a complete and utter magical empath. She's able to read people - so it's not just reading somebody's thoughts. She's can read into someone's story, she can see people's goals. And so even though she's able to do magic with her wand, a lot of her magic is actually internal, which makes her a different type of wizard or witch.
"And she's incredibly fun, playful, joyful, and free-spirited, kind and wise, and also has a sort of stillness about her because she's always tuning into people, so she's quite an interesting character to play - very vivacious and lively, yet very centred and aware."
Waterston is on board as Porpentina Goldstein while Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne will take on the central role of New Scamander.
Redmayne, Waterston, and Sudol are joined on the cast list by Ezra Miller, Colin Farrell, Jon Voight, Ron Perlman, Samantha Morton, and Carmen Ejogo.
Sudol is best known for her role as Emma Wilson in television series Dig and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is set to be the biggest film and role of her career - it could be the role that sends her star rocketing.
And while Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hasn't hit the big screen yet, there is already talk of a sequel, which is scheduled to be released in 2018.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is released 18th November
