“Do Revenge” could not be more different from his role in “Euphoria” as Ethan Lewis. And for a little bit, Abrams went back and forth between shooting the new Netflix movie (now streaming) and Season 2 of Sam Levinson’s HBO drama.“It was really fun to go from a very nice, gentle, thoughtful guy to [an] egomaniac,” he said in an interview with TheWrap about his “Do Revenge” character.
“That is just really flashy, really craving attention.”Abrams stars alongside Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke in the young adult movie, directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. The film follows Drea Torres (Mendes), fallen ‘it’ girl, and Eleanor Levetan (Maya Hawke), new girl in school, as they pair up to take down each other’s enemies, hence the title “Do Revenge.” Abrams plays Drea’s ex-boyfriend who leaks a steamy video meant only for his eyes.“We had a lot of conversations for sure about the character.
We had a lot of conversations about inspiration, which is kind of just an amalgamation of a lot of the guys that are in pop culture right now,” Abrams said. “It was a lot about what he wants and ego and things like that.
It was his relationships and what he really wants and what he really feels towards Drea and what he’s really trying to get from everybody. That was personally a North Star.”Set at a prestigious high school that feeds many of its students into coveted Ivy League colleges, “Do Revenge” addresses many of the topics, themes and (sometimes unfortunate) rights of passage that take place at that age.“It shows how difficult it is to be in high school, how much you’re still trying to find yourself and find — at least for me, I remember not really knowing how I wanted to live and you’re still a little bit kind of living for other people,”
