Despite the title of her new film, Chase Sui Wonders doesn't really want to see your sex — at least not on the big screen.

The 29-year-old star of *The Studio *got candid about her zillennial sensibilities during a post-screening Q&A at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival world premiere of her new movie *I Want Your Sex. *

"I feel like a bit of a prude in the sense that I don't love to see sex on screen all the time," the *Bodies Bodies Bodies *actress* *admitted while explaining what drew her to the Gregg Araki–directed comedy.

"I'm decisively Gen Z," she added with a laugh. "I can't believe I just admitted how prudish I am in front of all these people. Oh, I'm getting hot and sweaty… Where was I going?"

In *I Want Your Sex*, Wonders plays Apple, roommate and best friend to Cooper Hoffman's Elliot, who enters into a BDSM affair with his boss, Olivia Wilde's Erika Tracy, a renowned, boundary-pushing pop artist. Through their relationship, the film explores the generational divide on sex, with Erika frequently chiding Elliot and his fellow Gen Zers for being overly prudish on the subject.

While Wonders admitted to identifying with that sentiment, she hopes the film helps other young people feel more comfortable with sex and portrayals of it on screen. "It's couched in all this comedy, and it's joyous," she explained. "As much as Gen Z bristles at sex, it's like an entry point for us to get exposed to all these things."

Unsurprisingly, *I Want Your Sex *features a number of kinky scenes, particularly between Wilde and Hoffman, but Wonders made a point of noting that there's more to the movie than its sometimes shockingly explicit moments.

"Ultimately, the sex feels secondary," she said. "It's a real love story, and it's a story of being obsessed with someone, and that taking over your whole life, and that really hit me today. It's a tragic love story."

Featuring an all-star cast that also includes Johnny Knoxville and Margaret Cho as police detectives, Charli XCX as Elliot's sex-adverse girlfriend, Mason Gooding, and Daveed Diggs, *I Want Your Sex *marks Araki's 11th premiere at Sundance.

"I have been a fan of Gregg for forever," Wonders said. "I think it's a testament to him that you can get Johnny Knoxville sitting in a chair in a dark room — and he'll just show up because it's Gregg, and it's Olivia, and it's all these people — and crush it."
