"What's cool about this movie and Peter and Liz's relationship is it's an interracial relationship, but it's not talked about. It's not a big deal and shouldn't be made into a big deal," Harrier said during an interview last month at NoMi restaurant. "It's not this romance where they needed arm candy for the superhero. That really struck me as something that we don't really see enough of — strong female characters in these types of movies. I'm really proud to be playing Liz, playing someone little girls can look at and identify with and understand that she is intelligent and beautiful and driven — all of these things and you can be all that and a feminist. It's not one or the other. You can be a fully actualized, well-rounded human. I don't think we see enough of that in film, and I hope that comes across in our portrayal of Liz."
