This interview contains spoilers for “Thunderbolts”.
Lewis Pullman still does not know if he plays a hero or a villain in the last Marvel film, “Thunderbolts *”.
“He is very malleable and easily influenced because he did not have a real, strong and reliable source of love in his life,” said the actor about his character, a dark figure of Superman known as Sentry / The Void – although his civil name, Bob, the way you remember better of him.
Think of what would happen if Superman was super-depressed. Oh, too, he seems able to spray people with a helping hand.
“There is a contrast between being this all-powerful being and then having your greatest weakness and the heel of your main Achilles,” said Pullman in Video Call this week from his apartment in Los Angeles.
He had just returned to the city, where he was born and grew up, after a film by Vancouver, British Columbia, for the Netflix film “Notikly Bright Creatures”, based on the extremely popular novel by Shelby Van Pelt. This was followed by a swirling press tour that had taken him from London to New York to Los Angeles in Miami and Los Angeles, just in time for his brother’s wedding. He seemed to ride from the beach in a white t-shirt, a button of jeans and hair perfectly swept by the wind, and books of authors like the novelist Harry Crews and the playwright Sam Shepard were stacked behind him, with boxes resting on tables.
“I didn’t really have time to unpack,” he said, apologizing for disorder.
Pullman – The son of, yes, Bill Pullman – is the star in small groups of the last Marvel film, which aroused praise for his candid representation of mental health.
