In the world of Nimona, Netflix's new animated family film, knights are the heroes of the realm and celebrities in their own right, achieving their status via a televised knighting ceremony. For Ambrosius Goldenloin (Eugene Lee Yang), the ceremony is marred by the fact that his boyfriend and fellow prospective knight, Ballister Blackheart (Riz Ahmed), has seemingly murdered the queen and gone on the run. Tasked with hunting him down, Ambrosius is torn between a sense of duty to the kingdom and doing what he knows to be right.

In this one-on-one interview with Collider's Arezou Amin, Yang talks about being drawn to such an inherently queer project as a fan of ND Stevenson's work. He also discusses Ambrosius' inner conflict between doing what's right and what he's been told, and which moment of improv really stood out to him. Yang also shouts out the unambiguously romantic relationship between Ambrosius and Ballister, and the hopeful message of the film.
