Sinestro Actor Eager for More DC Universe Time
7 Sep
Summary
- Ulrich Thomsen embraces his role as DC villain Sinestro.
- The actor is ready to explore the character's depth further.
- He notes the character's complex mentor-like relationship with Hal Jordan.
Actor Ulrich Thomsen has expressed his enthusiasm for continuing his portrayal of the iconic DC villain Thaal Sinestro in the series "Lanterns." Thomsen stated he is ready to "dig in" and explore more of the character's extensive background.
Thomsen's Sinestro is currently imprisoned, where he interacts with Hal Jordan, acting as a mentor figure with a complex history. This relationship, wherein Sinestro once trained Hal, forms a core dramatic element, particularly given Sinestro's past as a dictator on his home planet and his current imprisonment for killing a Guardian.
"Lanterns" offers a more humanized take on Sinestro compared to previous live-action depictions, such as Mark Strong's in the "Green Lantern" movie. Thomsen undergoes a significant makeup process for the role, involving several hours to achieve Sinestro's comic-accurate pink skin, mustache, and brows.
With Sinestro's rich comic history, Thomsen is keen to reprise the role, feeling there is much more of the character's story to uncover and explore.
