We spoke w/ Aldis Hodge about LeverageRedemption and his ideas for BlackAdam's Hawkman.
In Season 2 of the original Freevee series Leverage: Redemption, the Leverage team – made up of grifter Sophie Deveraux , thief Parker , hitter Eliot Spencer , hacker Alec Hardison , and full-blown newest additions corporate lawyer Harry Wilson and Hardison’s foster sister Breanna – continues their quest to help individuals taken advantage of by bad guys, always teaching them a memorable lesson and having a bit of fun while they do so.
Has it always been important to you to find time to at least have some part in the season, even if you are so busy with everything else you have going on? When you started playing Hardison, could you have ever pictured him getting to the point that he’s at now? He’s this confident, suave guy who’s at the top of his game, and he’s running these other teams. Do you feel like this would always have been his natural progression, or have you been surprised with where he is?
I’ve got a little sister myself and I sometimes look at her like, “Oh, this is a grown woman. She’s got her own ambitions, and I don’t have to always be right there to try to protect her from ugliness of the world.” He’s always loved his sister. The only reason why they’re in this space is because of the close relationship they have. But I also believe that, for him, it’s about trying to see who she is, as an individual, more than just, “This is my little sister.
HODGE: No, there was no debate there. There was no debate, whatsoever. I love all mediums of my world, whether it’s film, TV, voice work, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is the content. Is the job substantial, in terms of story? Is it rich in context? Those are the things that I pay attention to. So, when I read the script for Cross, it had been a few months of me trying to figure out what the next job was. My team and I were going over a few different offers that came across the desk.
HODGE: With Parallel, a buddy of ours, Jaylen Moore, brought that to us. Initially, we were just on it, in the very early stages, to act in it, but as the project developed, we got more involved. Then, we co-wrote it with John Keasey, and we also produced it. For us, it was just the value of the project. We thought it was a cool one to really stretch out, story wise. It’s an adaptation from a Chinese film, the original called Parallel Forest.
It was very cool to see your involvement in Black Adam and to see how well that movie was received. Have you spoken to James Gunn yet, about the future of DC? What was your reaction to learning about his involvement in the DC Universe now, moving forward?
