Barry Keoghan he’s one of the busiest actors in Hollywood right now, putting out movie after movie, while simultaneously pushing himself to make a lot of content, all while still making thoughtful career choices, getting him recognized for the roles he plays. One such role was that of Druig in the Marvel bombshell Eternals. While the film wasn’t a hit with fans or critics, his part seemed overall well made and well received.
The Druig character can manipulate all forms of matter and energy, including the atoms in his own body, teleport, control the minds of others, project energy from his body (usually from his hands or eyes), and manipulate gravity to fly and , if anything, not handsome enough, he is also quite charming, which is why fans rooted for the romance in the film between Druig and Makkari (Lauren Ridloff) even more than those of the main characters.
Despite the film’s failure, Keoghan says he would still like to move forward with a film centered around his character. In a recent interview with GQ, the actor broke down his iconic film roles and said:
“I would love to see a movie where he plays and controls everyone’s mind. No real reason, just mind control for its own sake. The setup is that you’re making superhero movies, so you have to humanize them. Don’t play for the superhero. Try to bring out their human side.”
I would be interested to see this. I was one of the few people who didn’t hate Eternals, although I thought it had flaws and think it could have been much better. But if we can’t see another movie with a new writer/director, I wouldn’t mind seeing something standalone with Druig. What do you think?
