The Working Man star, Lee Tempo, who portrays Evan McCone, spoke to ScreenRant’s Ash Crossan about working with Josh Brolin once more. He additionally revealed the similarities between the dynamics of their characters within the upcoming movie and their Guardians of the Galaxy roles.
Tempo said that Evan and Brolin’s character, Dan Killian, in The Working Man, have a really related relationship to the one which Thanos (Brolin) and Ronan the Accuser (Tempo) have in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Very similar to the upcoming Stephen King adaptation, the Kree warlord within the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie primarily simply follows the orders of The Mad Titan.
Twice in a row I’m operating nasty errands for Josh Brolin. The factor is, that is the second film as effectively the place we’ve got scenes collectively and we by no means see one another on set. We movie at totally different instances. We solely ever meet at premieres and these items. Very humorous.
I really like what Josh brings to this character. He brings such a slimy, type of manipulative power — he’s simply arduous to foretell what’s truthful. I imply, nothing’s truthful, is the purpose.
The Working Man is a remake of a movie adaptation of Stephen King’s 1982 novel of the identical identify. It follows the story of Ben Richards (portrayed by Glen Powell), who’s in dire want of cash. He joins a TV program the place the contestants (often known as the Runners) should survive for 30 days whereas being chased by assassins. Evan is the chief of the group of killers that Dan employed to search out the present’s contestants. Brolin’s character, then again, is the violent, money-hungry producer of the present.
In the course of the unique interview, Tempo additionally praised Powell’s dedication to his function and the quantity of bodily labor he put into the motion movie as its primary protagonist. He defined that his co-star’s highly effective efficiency makes his character one that’s worthy of rooting for.
What I really like about Glen Powell on this function is that— I imply, what he does, signing up for The Working Man, it’s insane. It truly is senseless. However there’s one thing concerning the character that he brings to it — this sense of, ‘I’m going to place myself in the course of the mess, and I’m going to be nice. I’ll work out a manner out of this inconceivable state of affairs.’ So regardless that the world is hostile and everybody’s attempting to kill him, I’m not frightened about him. I simply type of need to see him resolve the issue.
The Working Man will probably be launched in theaters on November 14, 2025.
