Greta Lee Wants to Trade Sci-Fi Tech for a New Genre After Past Lives and Spider-Verse

Greta Lee has become a familiar face in tech-heavy stories, from her role as Lyla in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse to the AI-driven drama Past Lives. In an exclusive interview with Collider, the actress said she is ready to explore a different kind of role. Lee explained that while she loves the intellectual challenge of science fiction, she feels drawn to projects rooted in raw human emotion and physical performance. She pointed to her work in Past Lives as a turning point, where the technology was more metaphorical than literal. Lee told Collider that she wants to join a genre that lets her use her body and voice in a more direct way, possibly a period piece or a grounded family drama. The shift could open up new opportunities for Lee, whose versatility has already made her a standout in both independent films and major franchises. Fans may soon see a very different side of the actress.
