“I think Al Rothstein, his real name, I feel like he really has something to prove, especially with his tribe, where his grandfather was some kind of villain,” Centineo said. ‘He has quite a spirit to just help. What I love about the character is that he goes through the film through this transformation, where I think he does not expect the world to be a superhero. This is his first mission. It hits him right across the face. ‘
