My Take
Karan Soni is proof that scene-stealing is its own art form. Dopinder could have been a throwaway taxi-driver gag in Deadpool; Soni turned him into a fan favorite across three films through timing, sincerity, and a guileless sweetness that cuts through the franchise's cynicism. Voicing Spider-Man India in Across the Spider-Verse felt like a quiet milestone, a New Delhi-born actor carrying a piece of mainstream superhero mythology. I admire how he has built a career on comedic precision rather than leading-man vanity. Born in 1989, he has decades ahead of him, and I suspect his best and most surprising roles are still coming.
