He said, “It’s always a pleasure to work with Jorma because he is uniquely capable of creating emotions, including rage and grief, with almost no dialogue. We experience what Aatami is feeling and thinking just by his face and gestures.”ALSO READ: Upcoming Hollywood Theatrical Releases In November 2025: Wicked For Good To Zootopia 2Tommila described Jalmari's character, Aatami Korpi, as 'a family man, until the war began.
