‘Inside Out 2’ Trailer Reveals Maya Hawke Will Be Voicing New Character Called Nepotism

LOS ANGELES—With the child of Hollywood royalty clinching the role through the sheer force of genetics, the trailer for the new Pixar animated feature Inside Out 2 revealed this week that Maya Hawke will be voicing a new character called Nepotism. “We’re so lucky to have Maya playing a character who is spunky, possesses zero self-awareness, and is the pure embodiment of vanity and favoritism,” said director Kelsey Mann, explaining that the daughter of actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman beat out both Lily-Rose Depp and Emma Roberts as the most-connected person for the role. “The little orange being voiced by Maya is the most privileged character in the film, and her wants and desires will always take precedence over the other emotions. In a way, she is meant to represent the little voice inside of all of us that says, ‘I’ll never have to strive for anything because my parents will take care of everything for me.’” According to studio insiders, Maya’s father makes a cameo in the movie as a teacher who gives her license to do whatever she wants.
