Kevin and Thomas praised Ed about his performance in the film, since he performs two characters in the film, the mean principal and Captain Underpants! We then chatted with Kevin Kevin Hart, Ed Helms, and Thomas Middleditch? Kevin Hart of course came in speaking in Spanish saying his “My name is Kevin and what is your name?”!

They really did!įor those not familiar with the books, are all the characters in the film from the books.ĭav Pilkey: Yes! The books and the film may be called Captain Underpants, but the book and movie are really about the two kids who are best friends, George and Harold! We had to make sure Dav was comfortable making his baby!ĭav Pilkey: It’s interesting that you use the word baby, because it does sort of feel like my baby! You want to give that baby as much love and attention as you can, until it comes of age and you hope that baby meets someone who is wonderful, loving, caring, and understands it. Mireille Soria: We had to gain the trust of Dav and that was probably the most important aspect of making this film. Dav Pilkey: There were many studios trying to get the rights to the book for many years.
