Stating several times that actors felt nervous aroundThe Wolf of Wall Streetdirector, Ethan Hawke shed some light on the nature of the veteran director. A part of the conversation that occurred betweenThe Purgeactor and the interviewer is given below:
Interviewer:“Speaking of Scorsese, you must have figured out your own way to address the whole “Scorsese vs. the MCU” narrative while promoting “Moon Knight” this year.”
Ethan Hawke:“If people like Scorsese and Coppola don’t come out to tell their truth about how there are more important things than making money, who’s going to?”
In addition to these comments, Ethan Hawke very neutrally implied several things about the MCU that are in line with what Martin Scorsese states.
Interviewer:“How much freedom did you have to bring your own skills to that show?” (Talking about Moon Knight)
Ethan Hawke:“That group of people is extremely actor-friendly. They might not be director-friendly, and that could be what Scorsese and Coppola are talking about. But they love actors. I think Kevin Feige had a great thing happen with Robert Downey Jr. and he understood that Downey’s passion was a large part of the success”
TheBefore The Sunriseactor continued, “When actors are excited by a part, audiences get excited about watching them. Feige understood the algorithm there, so they’re extremely respectful toward the process. The best thing about “Moon Knight” for me was Oscar’s performance. It’s a gonzo thing that happens to have a giant budget — a pretty out-there performance.”
