We sat down and we simply form of talked about, okay, how are we going to create these aliens? As a result of whereas we did have conversations with Paul, the director, we additionally needed to inside ourselves form of determine how are we going to play sure issues? What are the particular moments? The place did we come from? What are our causes behind so many various issues? As a result of one thing in regards to the aliens is they're very like-minded, they usually’re all speculated to assume alike and be completely in unison. Figuring that out was actually exhausting, particularly coming from enjoying EJ, who's simply similar to me, only a highschool dude who's a sports activities man and theater man, after which going to enjoying an alien was very completely different.”
Terry performs A-spen, one other one of many aliens. Terry can be making historical past as Disney’s first main non-binary star. The actor opened up about how a lot this position means to them.

I learn the fan messages, they usually’re like, ‘This implies a lot to me… Oh, my God, I might by no means have imagined this.’ And I’m like, wow, that is actually large. It’s an enormous honor, big privilege. It feels actually, actually surreal. I actually, actually love that the film doesn’t focus on A-spen’s queer or non-binary id. They simply occur to be. It’s very form of refined, however I believe in that method so highly effective and so normalized. You get to simply see them exist, and that's such a ravishing factor and to seek out pleasure and love and all that. So, I’m tremendous, tremendous excited, and really honored.”
The aliens don’t get the warmest reception at first after they arrive in Seabrook. The werewolves are understandably just a little hesitant about trusting the Aliens. “He’s just a little bit cautious of the aliens,” Pearce Joza mentioned about Wyatt. “I believe the remainder of the werewolves are as properly. Chandler [Kinney] was speaking earlier about how we don’t need them to steal our moonstone. That’s a extremely popular subject for us. We simply need to guarantee that we shield our pack, particularly with this new risk coming in. Our pack is now greater. We've the whole thing of Seabrook as part of our household now and we need to shield that.”

Trevor Tordjman admitted that Zombies 3 begins “with a track that you simply’ve by no means seen on a Zombies franchise earlier than. I can tease that it’s simply typically a lot greater, and there’s these loopy VFX. Even the type of track hasn’t existed within the Zombies franchise earlier than, so that's undoubtedly one thing to sit up for.”
Chandler revealed that she is a large fan of the “Come On Out” musical quantity, which is the large werewolf quantity in Zombies 3. “It's epic. It has this actually cool bass to it. It's so catchy. It will get caught in my head on a regular basis, and it’s undoubtedly a track that while you hear it you need to rise up and also you need to dance. The dance quantity itself is large,” Chandler advised HollywoodLife.
Ariel Martin identified that the aliens, zombies, and werewolves all have “such distinct dancing types. So like doing ‘Alien Invasion,’ for instance, we virtually needed to adapt to the alien type of dance, which is extra linear strains. We needed to be very particular about even the place our fingers would go. Whereas the werewolves are extra used to those larger-than-life, over-the-top strikes, after which zombies have their very own method of dancing, there’s the cheerleading. Like Pearce was saying, the choreographers actually introduced that out from every of us and made these types so particular and distinct.”
