How Dan Stevens Became Hollywood’s Go-To Guy for, Well, Anything
Dan Stevens talks battling himself at the box office with lead roles in both 'Abigail' and 'Godzilla x Kong.'
Meanwhile, in Radio Silence’s gory Dracula action mashup “ Abigail ” for Universal, he’s an f-bombing ex corrupt cop now leading a gang of kidnappers, who, in one of many hilariously OTT scenes, projectile vomits blood for what feels like five minutes (and proceeds to spend the rest of the film soaked in the stuff). And it’s been no different, although less frequent, on TV, where Stevens made a name for himself playing the schizophrenic mutant son of X-Men’s Charles Xavier in the Marvel/FX spin-off series “Legion,” and, more recently, as Richard Nixon’s real-life White House Counsel John Dean in Starz’ Watergate political thriller “Gaslit.” He’s just finishing off shoots for Netflix political conspiracy thriller series “One Day” as part of an ensemble cast including Robert De Niro, Lizzie Caplan and Jesse Plemons, while Wingard — currently riding high off the soon-to-top $500 million box office success of “Godzilla x Kong” — says he’s got another “juicy role” in a script he’s been working on with Barrett.
