In an exclusive interview with Looper, Diamond White and Fred Tatasciore discussed what makes “Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” unique. Chief among the reasons is the space they’re trying to protect. While The Avengers in “Infinity War” and “Endgame” aim to preserve Earth and save the galaxy, Moon Girl is more concerned about what happens in her immediate surroundings.
“It’s about saving Lunella’s community, which is the Lower East Side of New York,” White said, “and she would do anything to keep her roller rink running and to protect the LES.” Tatasciore, whose voice acting career of 900-plus credits includes previous stints in Marvel and “Star Wars” projects (via IMDb), added that committing his vocal skills to “Moon Girl” was a very easy decision because of the depth of the material.
“It’s multifaceted,” Tatasciore said. “One [of the reasons] is what was mentioned before, just culturally how cool this is. I already knew about Devil Dinosaur, but finding out about Lunella, finding out about Moon Girl, this genius, nerd woman of color that is the smartest person in the Marvel Universe, and being a family member — not just a crime-fighting partner, but a family member to her — that’s huge.”
