GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 star Chukwudi Iwuji says the High Evolutionary doesn't sleep.
When you look at a particular character on a screen, it’s like observing an iceberg: The bit you see is just a fraction of something that was constructed over a long period, and that goes for every character you’ve ever spent time with. During the lead-up to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Chukwudi Iwuji and Will Poulter spoke with Collider's Perri Nemiroff about building their characters and the background characteristics that help them with their performances.
During the interview, Poulter and Iwuji spoke about how lucky the Guardians of the Galaxy cast members are because director James Gunn does a lot of the character-building himself since he also pens the scripts. On top of that, he is also a huge comic book fan—which means building backstories for Marvel and DC characters comes naturally to him, which is something Iwuji experienced working with Gunn on Peacemaker.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT "There's that whole incredible history in the comic books of being John Wyndham and whatever, banished from Oxford or Cambridge. It was great to read, but for me, I really like using what's in front of me and James [Gunn] has this way of creating his own bible for a text, and the beginning, middle, and end is there, all that.
The duo also shared that Gunn is very open to seeing how characters naturally develop in a scene, allowing them to try a few takes where he tells the cast to “do whatever” they want. The result is frequently quite positive, as Iwuji explained, "Every now and then, you do something that he really loved, then he pushes it to the nth degree, and that you feel a new scene has come out of the scene that was there.
