Dominique Thorne Lands On Teen Vogue’s New Hollywood 2023

Dominique Thorne can now call herself a Teen Vogue New Hollywood 2023 inductee. the young actress was announced as one of Teen Vogue latest inductees earlier this month. Highlights from her interview with the outlet are below.

On her love for classic movies: “This is going to sound so… but I was obsessed with those old-school Hollywood movies. Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, all of that. The old-school stuff was definitely my bag for a long time. My favorite movie for years was Rear Window. After that I got into theater, but when it comes to film, I definitely like the old-school Hollywood vibes. If only they would have not been so…”

On being OK with being passed up for the role of Shuri in Black Panther: “I really feel like by the time [Wakanda Forever] came around. I was ready in a way that I had only learned to be because of everything I went through at college and post-grad.”

On the difficulties of creating Riri in Black Pather: Wakanda Forever before filming Ironheart: “I [didn’t] know if the choices I made worked or not. What’s her family like? What’s her home life? Does she believe in God? All of these questions about who this girl is were questions that were only going to be answered by the [Ironheart] scripts, which I didn’t have at that time. It was like, how do I represent and portray a full human, but also leave room for the rest of her personality to be filled in later? How do I represent a point of view but not commit too strongly to anything, ’cause that could change?”
