Kristen Stewart draws parallels between ‘The Wrong Girls’ and ‘American Ultra’
In remarks promoting Dylan Meyer’s new stoner comedy now in theaters, Kristen Stewart said similarities between her dual roles in The Wrong Girls and a character she played in 2015’s American Ultra stood out to her.
Kristen Stewart is promoting her latest film role in Dylan Meyer’s The Wrong Girls, which is now in theaters, and during interviews she pointed to a potential connection between the new project and her 2015 action comedy American Ultra.
In comments reported by Deadline on Aug. 14, Stewart acknowledged that elements of the characters she plays in The Wrong Girls reminded her of her earlier American Ultra role. She described the overlap as “Deep as hell,” while discussing the movie that Meyer wrote and directed.
The Wrong Girls is the latest comedy Stewart has brought to audiences, and the conversation around her performance has focused on the way she approaches the film’s setup. Deadline’s account ties Stewart’s reflections on her new dual-role performance to how she previously handled an American Ultra character, suggesting viewers may recognize tonal or behavioral echoes between the projects.
Stewart’s remarks come as The Wrong Girls reaches theaters and as Meyer’s script positions the comedy within a familiar entertainment lane for audiences who follow Stewart’s work, while also emphasizing Stewart’s range through distinct character work. Deadline’s report frames the comparison as something Stewart noticed herself while talking through the film.
Neither Stewart’s comments nor Deadline’s report indicate that The Wrong Girls is officially connected to American Ultra beyond Stewart’s personal comparison of roles and comedic sensibilities. The relationship, as described in the interview coverage, is therefore interpretive rather than narrative.
With the film in theaters, Stewart’s public discussion highlights how marketing and press tours can shape audience expectations, particularly when an actor draws a line between different titles from their filmography. The Wrong Girls will be watched by audiences who may now look for additional parallels after Stewart’s “Deep as hell” remark about similarities to American Ultra.
Why It Matters
- Audience attention can shift when a leading performer explicitly draws parallels between new work and a prior hit title.
- Press-tour comments can influence how viewers interpret character performance and tone when a film features more than one role.
- The timing matters because The Wrong Girls is currently in theaters, placing the comparison directly in front of audiences during the early release window.
- Role-to-role comparisons can affect how filmgoers and critics contextualize an actor’s range across different genres within the same era of their career.
