New streaming darling Nicole Kidman spoke in an interview with L’Officiel about what led her to accept roles in box office films such as “Aquaman” and “Batman”.

No, it wasn’t just for the pay. According to the actress, her personal tastes and whims are also taken into account when choosing her roles.

“Everyone was like, ‘Why did you do this? ‘” she recalled of 1995’s “Batman Forever.” “Because I wanted to kiss Batman, duh!” she said. “What people don’t understand is that it’s not just about the paycheck. A lot of the box office hits I’ve done are because I hoped it would be something different.”

The actress had to answer the same question when she accepted the role of Queen Atlanna in “Aquaman” (2018) and its 2023 sequel. What made her accept the role was the desire to work with her compatriot James Wan, director famous for horror films such as “Saw”, “Annabelle”, “The Conjuring” and “The Nun”. “I always wanted to do a film with him,” Nicole confessed.

In recent years, the actress has been working on TV series that have become as well-known as her roles in Hollywood.

“I fell in love with the longer format because I like the character building. In the film you only have two hours to tell your story and develop the character,” she says, who premieres “The Perfect Couple” on September 5 on Netflix.
