The cast of birdsofpreywb had some extra fun on set with Chris Messina’s character.
and Chris Messina round out the cast as the terrifying duo Roman Sionis and Victor Zsasz, who have a shared penchant for wreaking havoc on Gotham and peeling people’s faces off. But as they explain to EW, they didn’t set out to play villains, per se.
“The last thing I was thinking about was being the bad guy,” McGregor says. “Even though there were some horrible moments in the film — like this scene in the nightclub, I haven’t been able to watch it.” “You were amazing in that,” Messina counters. “You were so wonderful and charming, and everyone wanted to follow you like the Pied Piper, and then you would turn and have that moment with the woman on the table and you could hear a pin drop. It was ferocious and terrifying.
“I’ve always loved the exploration of misogyny in this script,” he says. “The little moments that women have to deal with every day — I think a lot of blokes aren’t really aware of it yet. I was really proud to be part of that, as the head misogyn-er.” If it wasn’t abundantly clear, this is a movie that earns its R-rating. There are more curse words than we could count, plus a scene that uses cocaine, er, quite creatively. EW wondered if that was out of any of the actors’ comfort zones , but as you can see from our video, the cast had no problem with an occasional potty mouth. Basco found it liberating, personally: “My mom told me, ‘This script is an R-rating, and you’re not allowed to do any of this at home.
