Alexander Skarsgård wants to be left alone to see away, just like Murderbot

Can't a killer robot just see a few soap operas in peace? It's a topic Murder bot Star Alexander Skarsgård tells Yahoo Entertainment, which he certainly refers.

Skarsgård plays the title role in the new science fiction series from Apple TV+on Friday via a safety unit (“Secunit”) Gone Rogue, which has to hide its free will to its customers. Although Murderbot is a murder machine horrified by human emotions, it is more confusing to protect a customer team than the favorite soap opera. Sanctuary Moon. The comedic thriller is based on the bestseller book series by author Martha Wells The murder diaries.

Murderbot is a sexless cyborg in the books, without a physical human -looking properties being important. How about everything in the world did Skarsgård fit into the bill to play the title character?

The creators of the show, the brothers Chris and Paul Weitz, knew that it would be an impossible task to fill someone who “the version of all time they thought”. They even looked at a female leading role. But when Skarsgård showed interest, the choice of the casting was child's play.

“Alexander is a deeply eccentric person. He is someone who has this exterior who can be intimidatingly. He was in the Swedish special units. He appears from characters that he played as if he could really kill someone,” says Paul to Yahoo.

The Weitzen know that the fans of the books “Headcanon” have, who in Fandom refer to how people imagine what a character looks like or feels. You say fans will not be disappointed by Skarsgård. (Early ratings agree.)

“He has a really good sense of humor and he is a strange tall. These properties were characteristics that are corresponded to murder bot,” added Paul. “We just wanted it to be an actor who was really specific.”

Skarsgård is pleased to show his eccentric side in the series.

“It's such a strange, unique The Nordmann or Infinity pool, Other, somewhat darker projects I've done lately, ”he says Yahoo.“ I was very excited when I came across this strange science fiction action act, but I concentrated on a socially unpleasant Android who loves soap operas. ”

Skarsgård says he personally refers to Murderbots “hesitation”.

“I found it quite interesting what it calls itself murder bot and this epic adventure will occur. And that is what you expect when you see a science fiction show that is actually heroic and confident and goes out there and steps in the ass. Sanctuary moon,“He laughs.” I find it quite assignable that you have these big plans, but you can wait until tomorrow. You just have to see a few episodes of something. “

Since science fiction always touches real topics and what we have for a secunit, Chatgpt is closest, I signed up for the AI ​​chat bot Murder bot and ask Skarsgård topics. The 48-year-old Swedish star was excited to see what it took.
