In an interview with IndieWire, Magnussen said, “The gift was that I could laugh at all this shit that we do. Like people with big egos who are like, ‘Oh, they’re superstars.’ It’s a TV show about making a superhero movie, and it’s all just a bunch of idiots running the show and you can laugh.”
Speaking about his famous co-stars, the actor added, “The ensemble was everything. The community I worked with on that TV show was a gift for which I couldn’t be more grateful.
“It’s about people, because so much of this industry takes itself too seriously, and this show reminds me that you can have fun and laugh at yourself, and that’s what we did.”
The series will debut on Max on October 6.
