Trailer is out! Sam will be playing a small part in the movie and we are looking forward to seeing him reunited on screen with former co-stars Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games) and Kristen Stewart (Snow White and The Huntsman). The movie will be released in the UK on November 15th.
Thanks to Collider, we finally get to know a bit more about Sam’s character Brock:
There are two other big name actors in Charlie’s Angels we haven’t mentioned yet: Sam Claflin and Noah Centineo. Not much is known about their characters yet, but we do have some basic information after talking with them on set.
Claflin, who is reuniting with Banks after their time in the Hunger Games franchise together, is playing Alexander Brock, described as a Silicon Valley-type of guy – but the actor actually had no idea what that meant before joining the film.
“I have a very small knowledge of male or female people within the industry that my character is based, in this sort of tech, Silicon Valley-esque kind of world,” Claflin said with a laugh. “Like it’s so far beyond my reach. It was quite a bit of research that me and Elizabeth were both jokingly like, ‘Oh maybe he’s a bit more like Elon Musk, or maybe he’s a bit more like … ’ so it was quite fulfilling learning about that world.”
So what exactly did Claflin and Banks land on for Brock?
“He’s a child that never grew up,” Claflin said. “He’s a gamer, lives in his own head and just managed to invent this tech that has made him what he is. He’s kind of spoiled in many respects. You get the impression after a few things that he says that he didn’t have the best upbringing. But he’s a very, very intelligent and knowledgeable man.”
Brock’s the hotshot boss of the company Elena works for and is trying to bring to justice when she discovers the new tech, Calisto, can actually do more harm than good in the wrong hands. But according to Claflin, Brock has no idea just how dangerous it is.
“He’s an innocent party within this,” Claflin said. “He’s not sure of exactly what’s going on, which is why the Angels are here. Despite being a very, very intelligent man, he’s very, very stupid.” [x]
