The lack of Katherine Waterston (Tina)


Is it true she wasn't in the movie because she had covid? Or it was just a rumor?
Because the character of Lally was JUST like Tina, it's like they just adjust some dialogues to this new character

I read on social media it was because she opposed JK Rowling's anti-trans views

reply

Yeah but she appears anyways... in that case she would appear at all

So it's like with Jannah in The Rise of Skywalker just taking Rose Tico's place for 98% of the movie?

Tina is being downplayed. Bunty is the one who is right for Newt, if he can get past the British bias against the servant class. Theseus would be right for Tina. They're both aurors. And that would be consistent, since Theseus was going to marry Leta, who had been Newt's girlfriend for many years; now he gets Newt's new girlfriend. As brothers, they are a lot alike in some ways. They share a taste in women, obviously.

Thats was weird that she was absent like that. And no one explained why. Like in real life. And its hilarious that no one kinda even cares.

I even forgot she existed in the first place . They kept showing her picture to remind otherwise I would be even surprised when she did a cameo.

I watched previous movies once in theater. And I hardly remember anything that happened there. For the half of the movie I wondered who is the new black guy that kept appearing ))) I decided that he is some new fresh character. But then Grindelwald was telling him about his sister or something and I started slowly remembering that there was Zoë Kravitz in the previous movie and some boat scene and something and I guess that guy was there...

The second movie was so chaotic and boring that I dont remember anything that happened there. I ever forgot that Ezra Miller is now a Dumbledore relative. And thought he was some younger brother of Albus not his nephew. There was so much talking, screaming and nonsense in the end of second movie that I didnt understand anything they were trying to say.

Lot of speculation. Sometimes the simplest answer is the most likely one.
She was pregnant when the movie was being filmed.

As her only child was born in 2019, this is likely not the case. At least I hope so for her and her family. But because of COVID shenanigans there are plenty of reasons why someone living in the US wouldn't join - especially with having a young family.

I liked Lally. She was funny and was a total badass at dueling. I hope they bring her back if 4 and 5 ever get made.

reply

Yep. That new lady was charming and acted like she had personality. Katherine Waterston was not missed. I even forgot about her existence. Her character has no personality. She was just walking with her sad depressed face all the time.

Its actually funny how Hollywood suddenly tried to make happen this mediocre actress with zero charisma. By putting her in lead role in expensive blockbusters out of nowhere. Only to see that public doesnt care about her.

Like she was main character in previous Beasts movies and I barely remembered her. If they would not remind every few minutes with her picture in that suitcase then I would be asking myself "Who is that?" when she showed up for cameo at the end.

God knows why they thought they could make her "new Ripley" by casting as lead in Alien: Covenant.

I wondered about this too but found that I didn't really miss her. I enjoyed the Lally character.
