Liam Neeson helped Justice League actor Ciaran Hinds prepare for his role as the villain Steppenwolf.
In an interview with The Independent, Hinds revealed he performed his role via motion-capture, a first for the veteran actor. Hinds had to wear a “very tight and embarrassing” suit covered with sensors, and since motion-capture was unfamiliar territory for Hinds, he sought advice from Neeson, who recently played, via mo-cap, a giant tree creature in A Monster Calls.
“He sent me a little pamphlet of stuff – with him looking much more elegant than I was, I have to say," said Hinds.
Hinds teased what to expect from Steppenwolf in the upcoming DCEU film, revealing he's not exactly helping Darkseid by choice.
“He’s old, tired, still trying to get out of his own enslavement to Darkseid, [but] he has to keep on this line to try and take over worlds," said Hinds.
Hinds also believes his performance as Lot in the 1981 fantasy film Excalibur is what ultimately helped him land the villain role in Justice League, noting that director Zack Snyder paid homage to Excalibur in Batman v Superman.
"There’s a bit when they’re walking in Gotham City and suddenly on a marquee of a cinema you see Excalibur playing," said Hinds.
Justice League opens in theaters this November.
