Speaking with ComicBookâs Chris Killian, with director Julius Onah discussed why Seth Rollinsâ role didnât make the final cut of the film.
âWhen youâre taking characters like Serpent Society from publishing, who, as you know, are individuals dressed up as snakes and have snake-adjacent powers, youâre always iterating and trying to figure out the version that totally works best in a movie like this. I love Seth, Sethâs incredible. But as we were evolving and we knew we had an additional photography period, just one that we did early on in the process thatâs planned. We were trying to figure out, âHey, whoâs somebody that can bring a very specific kind of gravitas that works with this tone.â When Giancarlo [Esposito] became available, it was such a no-brainer. I have a very particular history with him. Heâs iconic for working with Spike Lee. I interned with Spike Lee when I was 19 years old. Of course, fans have been fan-casting him for a long time in the MCU. So itâs really about making sure that all the elements worked in the grounded tone and vision that I have for this film. As we evolved and iterated, Giancarlo just made sense. What a blessing to have in this film,â Onah said.
