Moribus - Jared Leto opens up what attracted him to play the villain
Leto is considered a method actor, known for his constant devotion to and research of his roles. The actor was found saying his attraction towards selective opportunities.
"I'm attracted to roles where there's an opportunity to transform - physical transformation, but also mental, emotional, any and all," says Leto, who is indeed renowned for his transformations.
"There's a lot of range in there, so that was really fun to tackle. Not only does the movie have action, stunts, and fighting, but the role itself was taxing. Whenever he is fighting the affliction, he is caught in a crossroads between different parts of the character.
The Oscar-winning actor further explained how excited he was to play this challenging yet unique character, “It’s like a withdrawal process, a full-body experience. I was excited about taking on the challenge of putting a character on screen that had never been on screen before. It gets harder and harder to find, and that was unique about this - a Marvel character that had never been portrayed outside of a couple of episodes of a Spider-Man cartoon."
"There's a lot to discover about this character. It was fun to explore his increased strength and speed. And he can use echolocation - how do you translate that into a performance, the ability to see using your sense of hearing?"
Sony Pictures Entertainment India exclusively brings Morbius to theatres on April 1. Releasing in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
