Will Bill Skarsgård Make A Good Action Hero In The Crow?
Why There’s Reason To Be Optimistic Regarding His Eric Draven Portrayal
While trailers forThe Crowhave teased some of Skarsgård action sequences as Draven in the film, this clip is really the first time audiences have been given a proper look at the actor in action. So far, things are looking promising, especially since Draven is far from a typical action hero. What makes Draven unique is that he actually absorbs a lot of punishment, and that, without his unique abilities, he would be killed.
Draven is resurrected by a crow after his death, and the mystical animal bestows him with various supernatural abilities.
Skargård is perhaps still best known for his starring role as Pennywise the Clown in theITfranchise, but he’s also appeared in the likes ofBarbarianand as part of thecast ofJohn Wick: Chapter 4. While all cement his talents as an actor, none of these roles have really been action-oriented. Skarsgård, however, isn’t without experience as an action hero. The actor recently appeared inBoys Kills World, which earned mixed reviews from critics and was relatively under-seen, but does prove thatSkarsgård can convincingly dish out punishment during action sequences.
7 Reasons To Be Optimistic For The Crow’s Remake, Despite The Backlash
The Crow may be a cult classic from the 90s, but the remake releasing in 2024 is more promising than most critics currently give it credit for.
WhileBoys Kills World’s reviewsweren’t glowing, the film still suggests that, purely from a physicality point of view, Skarsgård will be believable as Draven.The clip above reinforces that the action filmmaking featured in the movie will be up to snuff, as the sequence above is hard-hitting and brutal while still being entertaining. Many questions still remain about 2024’sThe Crow, but the film is certainly looking like it will be taking advantage of its R rating.
