The transition from playing Holland's on-screen mother to voicing his AI assistant has amused fans. Besides reuniting with Holland, the British actress also reunited with director Destin Daniel Cretton, who previously worked with her on 'The Glass Castle', released in 2017.

Now, who is EV? EV is an AI assistant, similar to Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark's assistant, JARVIS.
