The Sudden Ascent of Lewis Pullman
www.esquire.com
You might know the thirty-three-year-old actor from his last name—or his roles in ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and ‘Thunderbolts*’—but his recent jump from ensemble player to leading man puts him in a league of his own.

“It’s going back to the serum of the human archetypes that our art is built off of,” says Pullman, who notes that despite its vast cast, Doomsday is not just a cameo fest. “Every character has their moment that builds the dimensions of them,” he says. “The Russo brothers did that so well. They do not want anyone just sitting in the background. They really took to heart the responsibility of having some of the best actors in the world all together. There’s a lot of really exciting pair-ups that happen. A lot of fans will be really excited. It’s so fun to dream about. What if A and B would work together? Would B and D would work together? You get to see a lot of those fantasies come into fruition.”

He compares the superhero saga to ancient epics but halts before venturing much further. “Talking about Marvel is always such a funny dance of saying nothing while still words are coming out of your mouth,” he says.

    I expect it to be a well told cameo fest, so both will probably be true.

    We’ll all be Leo during the film,

    But that doesn’t mean characters won’t have stories. I imagine the trouble will be some characters not getting enough screen time.

    Buuuuuut, if we’re doing a soft reset after Secret Wars with the universes coming together, give all the legacy characters their moment and any team ups we want to see in the future can still happen.
