Alexander Skarsgård embodies a man made of wicker in his latest role as the 'Wicker Husband,' a character specially created for Olivia Colman's fisherwoman persona. The film, titled 'Wicker,' explores themes of loneliness and the search for an ideal partner.
Skarsgård, known for playing complex villains, found the earnest nature of the wicker husband challenging. He sought to imbue the character with personality and development, avoiding a one-dimensional portrayal. To navigate this, he drew inspiration from actor Tom Hanks.
The narrative centers on a fisherwoman ostracized by her village, who commissions the local Basketmaker to create her perfect spouse. 'Wicker' is currently available in limited release, with a wider expansion to theaters nationwide scheduled for October 30.
