Yeah, look, I think historically, this is a character, you know, for the folks that don't know, you know, it's a character whose family was killed in sort of a shootout between a bunch of different criminal figures from the underworld and his family and children were taken from him right when he got back from fighting overseas.
He's a
Force Recon Marine and in our version, a Marine Raider.
And it brings up so many issues.
But I think beyond just sort of the spiraling, reeling loss of his family and how he's reacting to that, we've really sort of delved into issues of PTSD and traumatic brain injury and the feeling with so many vets who come home, guys who are tip of the spear vets who really feel lost and wayward and don't know what to do next.
And
You know, look, I think I've said before, I was quite trepidatious and hesitant about sort of getting into the superhero world.
It wasn't something that I was looking to do.
It wasn't something that I sought out.
How come?
You know, for a few reasons.
I think, you know, the folks that I've respected the most in acting, some of my heroes, not that I respect the most, but a lot of my heroes sort of never went that way.
Mm-hmm.
And I think times have definitely changed.
But, you know, to have superpowers or to fly through the air, that just never – I think the characters that I'm really interested in are enormously grounded.
I try to make them and I try to find things about them that I can deeply relate to or they take me down a path that scares me intensely.
And so I have to go sort of explore that path.
Yeah, look, I've said before, there's no way that I could begin to take on that character if I wasn't a husband and a father first, first and foremost, and to fully and palpably understand, you know, what it...
the feeling of loving people on this earth and happily give my life for these people on this earth, how would it feel if these people were taken from me?
So I always want Frank to live there.
