Hailee Steinfeld on how MCU role influenced Across the Spider-Verse return
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's Hailee Steinfeld believes "every experience" bleeds into the next.
The actress is back on the big screen in animated Gwen Stacy form this weekend – the love interest of Shameik Moore's web-slinging Miles Morales – having originally voiced her in 2018 stunner Into the Spider-Verse.
To mark this momentous occasion, Steinfeld spoke exclusively to Digital Spy about the influence of playing Hawkeye's Kate Bishop when reprising Gwen.

"I always feel like every experience I have ultimately, in one way or another, influences the future work that I do," she began.
"I think that there are parts of each experience that I have that I take with me into everything that I do.
"I do feel, though, so grateful to have the opportunity to step back into this character because you get that feeling of picking up where you left off and fall back into this world and it's all right there."

Further along, the Oscar-nominee (check out her star-making turn in the Coen brothers' True Grit remake) also weighed in on Across the Spider-Verse investing more time in Gwen's universe.
"The fact that we were going to get more of it was so exciting to me," said Steinfeld.
"We get a little bit more of her origin story and we get to see sort of everything that she is about to experience, right at the top of the film, we get all of that. So I was just excited to grow with her some more and spend more time with her.
"[Gwen's world] is visually so, so, so special, as is every single world that we see in this film, but I'm biased. I love hers so much. I was happy we got to live in it."
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is out now in cinemas.
