Jimmi Simpson on the Wild Chaos of Making ‘Black Mirror’ Sequel “USS Callister: Into Infinity”
[This story contains spoilers from the Black Mirror season seven sequel “USS Callister: Into Infinity.”]
Making Black Mirror‘s first-ever sequel was a wild ride. Jimmi Simpson, one of almost all of the returning actors who came back for the season seven episode, likens it to “an artistic battalion.”
“It was chaotic, but everybody was up for it,” he says of returning to play his character, Walton, who is now running tech company Infinity in “USS Callister: Into Infinity” after the death of former CEO Robert Daly (Jesse Plemons) in the first film. The 90-minute sequel — which was at first set to be a series — reunited Simpson with co-star Cristin Milioti and gave him the chance to act opposite her not only in the real world but also as their in-game characters (who Simpson describes as his Caveman Walton and Spaceman Walton) as they voyage on another adventure to save themselves inside the immersive game.
