J.K. Simmons Talks Justice League Pressure and… by filmjunkee
Ben Affleck and J.K. Simmons have been busy promoting The Accountant, and Affleck hasn’t been able to avoid the questions about Batman and Justice League. I’m sure he doesn’t mind, but J.K. Simmons had an opportunity to answer a question about his first scenes for Justice League.
Yeah well there’s not a lot of ‘small’ on those kinds of sets. When you’re working with Zack Snyder ‘small’ is not the word that comes to mind, or any of those DC Universe kinds of projects. I mean there are two schools of thought about that for actors. It is kind of nice, in a way—especially when you’re playing a supporting part—to start out just kind of doing a little ‘Oh and then you’re gonna walk down this hall, say hi to this guy, and that’s your day’s work.’ Kinda get your feet wet. Or whether it’s better to just dive into the deep end and get some of the heavy stuff out of the way. It was fun, I mean that whole universe is something I’m really excited to be a part of for a while down the road hopefully.
He also talked about how they got Gordon’s spot-on look.
That’s what I wanted very much to do. As we sort of went back and forth with Zack and I and the wardrobe and hair and makeup and all those people, saying how we wanted the look to be, I think we all ended up being very much on the same page.
