Director James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy
will expand Marvel's Cinematic Universe to the outer space, with the adventures
of five unexpected heroes, Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, Drax the Destroyer,
Rocket Raccoon, Groot and Gamora.
During a recent, interview to Yahoo! Movies,
actor Lee Pace talked about his character, Ronan the Accuser, one of the main
villains in the movie.
I’ve never played a character like Ronan before. I like a bombastic
villain, and that’s what I had a good time doing. It was the most fun playing
this character… I was stronger than I’ve ever been, doing all this training,
and the character is just a beast. He’s just so evil. At first when I started
working on him, I was thinking, “We’ve seen so many great performances of
villains by very talented actors in superhero movies. I’ve got to find
something relatable about this guy.” But the more I played him, the more fun I
had with just being evil. [Laughs] Evil, evil, evil. He’s an alien – there’s no
kind of human rules. There’s nothing to relate to, actually. It just became,
like, the more dark I could conceive of him, the more I understood him.
Pace was then, asked as a joke, if Ronan's
eyebrows are one of the character's most evil traits.
You don’t even see my eyebrows! It’s covered up with that black ceremonial
paint. He’s like Osama bin Laden – he’s like a religious fanatic. It’s so cool.
When in my life did I think I’d be playing a character like this? When I got
the call about this, I was like, “What? OK, OK… I’m in.” I’d auditioned for
Star-Lord, and then Chris obviously got the part… and then they called my agent
and said, “We have another part for him!” So I quickly put that on tape and
Ronan worked out.
In a previous interview to TF, Pace said that
Ronan's action were part of his being.
He's the Accuser of the Kree; he passes judgement.
He's got a code to live by. This is a spiritual mission.
