South Korean actor Ma Dong-seok, also called Don Lee, stated Friday that his character Gilgamesh within the upcoming superhero film “Eternals” displays his distinctive persona and signature motion fashion.
“Since the zombie thriller ‘Train to Busan’ (2016) was released about five years ago, I’ve received some offers from Hollywood,” he stated throughout a web based press convention with Korean media. “A few years ago, I got a call from a casting director of ‘Eternals’ after I lost some projects due to my schedules.”
“Eternals” is the newest Marvel Studios’ movie in regards to the Eternals, a gaggle of an immortal superheroes who combat in opposition to their evil counterparts, the Deviants, to guard Earth after hundreds of years of hiding.
Ma is the primary ethnically Korean actor to take a lead position in a Marvel superhero movie. South Korean Soo-hyun, often called Claudia Kim, performed a supporting position as a geneticist in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015).
Gaining worldwide recognition for his position in “Train to Busan,” Ma has finished about 50 movies, together with the crime actioner “The Outlaws” (2017) and the crime thriller “The Gangster, The Cop, The Devil” (2019), for about 15 years.
Over his profession, the 50-year previous star has carved out a presence within the South Korean film business as a lovable motion character who’s highly effective and hard however pleasant and warm-hearted.
Ma stated “Eternals” director Chloe Zhao, who received Oscars for “Nomadland” (2021), had requested him to take Gilgamesh and adjusted the character, who just isn’t Asian within the authentic Marvel Comics, for him.
“She changed Gilgamesh, a mythical hero, to an Asian character and tailored it to me,” he stated. “She wanted me to show my own style of action, like a big punch or a box. She created a character that fits me perfectly.”
As a prolific actor in South Korea, Ma stated he felt nearly nothing completely different in capturing a movie within the United States.
“But I was surprised by the huge scale of its production and its workforce,” he stated. “Hundreds of people are working for one project. Their teamwork and collaboration looked great for me.”
He stated he and his American colleagues, together with Angelina Jolie as Thena, did effectively to point out on-screen chemistry in “Eternals,” which can hit South Korean theaters on Nov. 3.
“This is a superhero film aimed at entertaining people,” he stated. “But it also tells a message that all members of the Eternals are from different races, genders and nationalities but they create the strongest power when they join forces.” (Yonhap)
