Summary
- Carrigan finds it refreshing to play a superhero, but it doesn’t matter to him whether he’s a hero or villain.
- He enjoys exploring the opposite aspects of characters and stretching them in different directions.
- Carrigan relates to Metamorpho’s feeling of being different and freakish due to his own experience with alopecia.
Anthony Carrigan has opened up about playing Metamorpho in Superman: Legacy.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Carrigan talked about what it is like going from villain roles, such as Victor Zsasz in Gotham, to now playing the hero Metamorpho in Superman: Legacy. Check out the full quote below:
“It’s very refreshing to be playing a superhero, finally, but I don’t think it quite matters to me. My favorite game is to, no matter what I’m given, try to find the opposites. See what’s possible in terms of stretching a character in different directions. With all of my characters, I really try to find some sense of authenticity and truth on what I can relate to about the character. With Metamorpho, this is a character who was almost cursed with his powers and thought that he was freakish in terms of what he looked like and that’s something I could totally relate to because of my alopecia.”
