[Vikander] was very disciplined the first time I worked with her — I mean, she’s a ballet dancer from the beginning and I think that where she gets her discipline from — but [I thought of her] after I finished the script because I think Erika is very strong and very, very hard. She has so much anger in her, but is also so sensitive, so she has this complex personality, which is also similar to [the role Alicia played in] “Pure.”
