Playing Cyclone in BlackAdam helped Quintessa Swindell learn what it really means to be true to themselves.
, directed by lionized filmmaker Paul Schrader , Swindell, who uses they/them pronouns, plays Maya, a troubled young woman who connects with a gardener named Narvel —a fair-minded mentor who is also a former Neo-Nazi. Playing opposite Edgerton was a special treat: “I’m a massive Star Wars fan,” they told me.
Swindell, who grew up in rural Virginia before finding community in New York, talked about the complexities of redemption, how to move like Cyclone , and what it really means to be true to themselves.I haven’t worked that long as an actor and I’m still getting used to seeing what’s out there and how it aligns for someone like myself. Sometimes, as a non binary person, it’s hard to get a non-binary role and embrace that.
When Paul’s [role for me] came around, it was the exact opposite. It really meant something, and it wasn’t a stereotypical young girl. It was a girl who was trying to figure out her place in the world and wanting to change her life from one environment to another—you’re not your situation, basically. I really connected to that, and saw that in Maya.
When we were shooting, I was thinking about and trying to evoke that feeling of the Buffalo shooting, which happened right around that time. I was thinking [about Narvel], “Were you one of them? Did you do something like that?” And do you ever really change? [The movie] is hopeful and optimistic toward dialogue and conversation between opposing parties.I don’t think I’ve personally had shit very easy in my life. I’ve become very strict on certain things as far as what I think is morally correct.
