Casting kids in any project, big or small, comes with its own risks. Mercifully, Jon Watts – the co-creator of upcoming Star Wars series Skeleton Crew – had some pitch-perfect words of wisdom to fall back on when it came to populating his cast with Gen Alpha actors.
"I got this advice from [The Goonies and Superman director] Richard Donner, who I was lucky enough to hang out with shortly before he died," Watts tells GamesRadar+. "He was talking about casting The Goonies and he said that you don't cast kids to play a role, you cast kids because of who they are."
