Director Malcolm D. Lee also talked about his version of Lola to "reflect the authenticity of strong, capable female characters.
"We reworked a lot of things, not only her look, like making sure she had an appropriate length on her shorts and was feminine without being objectified, but gave her a real voice. For us, it was, let's ground her athletic prowess, her leadership skills, and make her as full a character as the others." He added.
The movie is set to release both theatrically and on HBO Max and on July 16.
