Will Poulter shared the screen with Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2015 Academy Award Nominated Film, "The Revenant." His character, Jim Bridger, accompanies a mortally wounded Hugh Glass (DiCaprio) until he is tricked into deserting him. In a behind-the-scenes interview, Poulter revealed that the film's director Alejandro González Iñárritu requested that he focus on the character's "innocence." The actor explained that Bridger's displayed "naivete" and that his "immaturity would manifest itself as weakness at times." He went on to say that in these moments, the character "really had to step up and become a man."

"I guess what Alejado wanted was to try and see this conflict within Bridger, the boy and the man trying to stifle his emotions and his fears and try to do the right thing as a man. You know, try to really grow up in an instant to survive," said the actor. During the interview, Poulter revealed he had some difficulty with how the film was shot, as he had not previously "perform[ed] so intimately with the camera before."

"I've never had to introduce the camera's presence in my consciousness so much and tailor what I did and tailor the choices that I make as an actor to how the camera moves," explained the London native.
