Episode 288.
"Peacemaker"
Actor: Chukwudi Iwuji.
Chukwudi makes his SECOND appearance on the show to talk about "Peacemaker" and the highly anticipated "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" in which there is immense speculation and excitement about who he will be playing. I really love Chukwudi as an actor, but he's even a better human being. One of the all time greats to stop by the podcast. He's the real deal.
One of the best actors on the planet.
Talking Points:
1. Chuk talks about his amazing wife.
2. Host Darek Thomas incorrectly called "Peacemaker", "Peacekeeper" (multiple times) to which I apologize and am throughly embarrassed. I have done this with other "Peacemaker" guests. Bad habit.
3. I tried very hard to get Chuk to reveal who he is playing in Guardians 3, I tried REALLY hard. I am not sure it worked.
4. Chuk talks about how a non-fictional death leads to real world emotions.
5. We talk about James Gunn, and how he loved Chuk so much in Peacemaker, he offered him the highly coveted role that many high profile actors wanted in Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
6. Clemson Murn is the biggest hero in Peacemaker.
7. I ask Chuk how reading scripts is different than reading for pleasure.
8. Chuk is fresh off a one night "Othello" performance.
9. I might get Chuk a Monday Morning Critic Jacket (Like Tom Hanks has for SNL) for his third appearance which would make him the most featured guest in MMC history!
10. Chuk shares exclusively that the energy exerted in his character for Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was unexpected, exhausting and like nothing else he's ever done before.
