3', Marvel's first F-bomb and that awful screen-test
Chris Pratt and James Gunn talk 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. “I’m still trying to process it two years on. “Now I’m part of this legacy,” Iwuji says, referring to the 15-year long Marvel Cinematic Universe. But he is thrilled to be the first actor to realize him on the big screen. He’s not a good guy.”ĭespite the High Evolutionary’s early appearance in a 1966 issue of Mighty Thor and later high-profile battles against Marvel’s Avengers, Iwuji wasn’t familiar with his many exploits. “He’s a magnificent villain that is fully realized. “Chukwudi’s performance of High Evolutionary is maybe my favourite in the entire film,” Gunn says. Gunn says the High Evolutionary is “such an interesting character” to bring Rocket’s story full-circle and offer closure for the wisecracking hero. “But also Alan Rickman and Peter O’Toole and Denzel (Washington).” Some of my favourite actors have played great movie villains - Gary Oldman as Dracula, Gary Oldman in Fifth Element, Gary Oldman in Leon,” he says with a laugh. 
“I’ve always been drawn to villains in movies in general. Instead of leaning on some of the Marvel villains that have come before, Iwuji says that his take on the High Evolutionary, a character that was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the 1960s, was influenced by some of cinema’s great baddies.
It had to be someone as cruel as the High Evolutionary to create this version of Rocket that the world sees.” So you needed a character that would do this to a helpless animal. “We haven’t faced that full-on, but it was always going to be there. So Rocket’s story has always been a tragic one, emphasizes Iwuji, who has also starred in John Wick: Chapter Two and TV’s Underground Railroad and Designated Survivor.
