Shazad Latif plays the role of Captain Nemo in AMC Plus' series Nautilus, which serves as a prequel to Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
Latif had significant creative freedom in portraying this young version of Nemo, drawing inspiration from the character's description in Verne's book and various film adaptations.
He also found inspiration in Alan Moore's comics and in other actor's portrayals of Nemo, such as James Mason and Naseeruddin Shah.
The role tested Latif's endurance with a demanding 210-day shoot, encompassing stunts, underwater training, and challenging emotional themes. New episodes of Nautilus release on Sundays on AMC and AMC Plus.
