Andy Serkis Talks About What Klaw Has Been Doing Since AGE OF ULTRON
Black Panther comes out in less than a month and it’s exciting. I’m so excited to see this story unfold and see Michael B. Jordan as Killmonger and Chadwick Boseman reprising his role as T’Challa. What about Andy Serkis though? In case you forgot, he’s in this movie as the villain Klaw and we saw him way back in Avengers: Age of Ultron. What has he been up to? It’s been about 3 years and several movies with no word about what he’s doing. Well, in a recent interview with Collider, Serkis answers this very question.
“Well he’s just basically been causing mayhem in the world, on minor and major levels. He’s a smart guy in the sense that he’s a businessman as well as an arms dealer. He manages to cover his tracks. He has a mercenary army that works with him in different locations all around the world and he’s able to go down rabbit holes and appear in other places. He’s got the smarts, but he’s also a little whacked out.”
When asked about the relationship Klaw has with T’Challa, his answer is this:
“He doesn’t really have a personal relationship with anyone, but they’ve definitely crossed paths. They spar. [laughs]”
The interview has a lot of great background and a behind-the-scenes look at how this character was developed. I recommend you read it.
