When titans Returning to HBO Max just over a year after the conclusion of season three, the comic book series will face another iconic DC villain with… Superman version of Superman Lex Luthorit has been observed that The only person Bruce Wayne is afraid of. Titus Welliver, from bush And the sons of anarchy Fame is taking on the role of Season 4, and while fans have seen very little of the character via trailer footage, showrunner Greg Walker shared some huge praise for the actor with CinemaBlend while also talking about how surprisingly accessible the show was to him. .
After I saw the first handful of titans“Season 4 installments, I asked Greg Walker about the importance of bringing Welliver in for a big role as Lex Luthor, and before he could even tackle the answer directly, the showrunner shared plenty of praise for the actor’s work. In his words:
Yeah, it’s funny, because I go back to those episodes and look at the effects. And often when you go back, you’re like, “Oh, I should have added more here,” or “We cut that weird.” But you know, at some point, you go deeper into the process, you can’t go back and re-cut. And I never felt bad about looking at Titus’ things. I always feel like he’s totally dead in every way. It was a gift to him at the show.
I can attest to the fact that Titus Williver brings a similar charisma to the role of Lex as Isai Morales brought the role of Deathstroke, but with a much bigger avatar and sense of his own accomplishments. I don’t think anyone would expect any version of Lex to fall into comparisons to, say, Paul Dano’s The Riddler in Matt Reeves’ Batman, and Welliver does not defy those expectations. Instead, it helps titans To start her fourth season with some big risks.
Speaking of high pressure classes, Greg Walker reversed course a bit to talk about how it works titans The team landed Welliver as the first choice, saying:
So, when we decided we wanted to do Lex’s story, and make Lex a part of the season, we knew we wouldn’t have him in many episodes, and we knew we wanted to make a big impact. . . . So, in doing that, we really wanted to pick an actor that would really land this character. And Greg Berlanti, a genius at casting, I reached out to him and I think he made Titus’ suggestion. I’ve been a fan of Titus because I’m embarrassed to say how long, but decades, I’ve known about him and followed his work, and I’ve really known him from Bosch and he was a huge fan. What I loved about him was his charm and economy of expression. It is very simple and focused, yet conveys a world of emotion and emotion.
Titus Welliver is one of those actors who doesn’t need to jump between opposite ends of the performance spectrum to deliver an effective and brilliant performance, a testament to his ingrained viewing ability, considering the number of roles he’s taken in his long career. all hail dead woodSilas Adams.
Anyway, the actor enjoyed a brief stint within Marvel’s live-action projects as Agent Blake Shield Agents And one shot Item 47but titans It marks his first entry into DC television. And it’s almost surprising to learn that after hearing how much he’s actually ready to join this particular HBO Max show.
So when we got close to him, I thought it was tough, because…someone we really connect with. And that’s tough, because you’re selling someone on a character that’s been done multiple times, famously. So I had a whole speech ready, and I was ready and ready to give it, and I didn’t get a word, because he’s a big fan of giant books, starting with (Marv) Wolfman and (George) Perez, and on. He took me through all the volumes of Titans he had over the phone, and I was sitting on the phone like, ‘Just don’t screw it up. Just do not fail.
As it turns out, Welliver wasn’t just a fan of comics. Instead, he was already fully aware of any of the characters and actors he might share on screen with.
According to Greg Walker, Welliver . entered titans As prepared as possible, he was aware of everything that had happened before in this living universe. In his words:
Some people congregate, you know, at shows; that’s normal. But he watched it, and can refer to the footage. He’s a director himself, so he liked the look of the show, and how we built it. Anyway, I was just thinking, “Just pinch me, because this is a dream.” Then at the end, he said, “So I’m a subscriber. Do you have any questions?” [Laughs.] I was like, no. Thank you.’
In the mind of Greg Walker, the bush The star was mentally well-equipped to handle the role, bringing him in with an understanding of how the creative team wanted to use it in Connor’s story. Here’s how to put it:
Sure, and I think he’s already figured out and worked with what interests us about Lex. The complexity of someone who had all the power in the world, who was evil and kind of comfortable nonetheless. You know, he doesn’t keep him up at night, his offense. He wouldn’t even see them as excesses. They are just expressions of a destiny he seems to be intent on fulfilling.
Viewers will have to check out Season 4 to see how far Lex and the others have fared when it comes to determining their fate.
Aside from Lex Luthor, fans can also expect to learn about another pair of devious and haunted villains in Joseph Morgan’s brother’s blood And the chaos of Franka Potente’s mother, as well as Jenks Lisa Ambalavanar.
