Honestly, I don't know if it's reverse engineering or what, but I had the mocap on myself and I did the thing. Did Zack go through and show you the concept art and the visual development, the suits, and all that stuff to help you get into character a bit? I don't know anything about the role, what the body is gonna look like, and all that stuff, but I'm thrilled to see it.

Is that something you also went through with practical effects or did you go the motion capture route for Mr. You'll hear these stories on Guardians of the Galaxy about how Dave Bautista has to sit in his makeup chair for six hours. He has shown us concept art for J'onn J'onzz, Martian Manhunter, and all that stuff.

And so I think that in any case, the way that he can humanize that which is generally speaking a little bit hyperreal, I think makes him really in a class of his own. So in any case, Zack is a really good director, and I think that he had some sort of a way into making his reality come to fruition by knowing how to talk to actors playing otherworldly beings, in some sense, metaphysical people who were given a human form, directing demigods, effectively. The nuances that these actors are able to come up with, the people that are in most cartoons that we grew up watching, these are people with a tremendous skill set that's different from the sort of acting that you usually get to do. I have gained a respect for voice acting, having done some voice work even for Zack with Army of the Dead and so forth, but other things. He knows nuances and acting styles and all kinds of stuff. In addition to having this great eye and the sort of vision of that big world, of his own worlds that he creates, I like his direction. What I tell him all the time, I hope he believes me, but he's a really good director of actors. I always know it's gonna be something very interesting. Way before I met him, I was a fan of his work, so that's really cool. Sometimes I'll look down at the phone, it'll be Zack Snyder calling. How's a call like that go? Do you Zack Snyder pop up on your phone and does he go, 'Harry, do you want to be a superhero?' It was great, and I'm looking forward to whatever it is. He always likes to surprise me and stuff like that, so I know that it was the happiest day that I never expected when I found out that this was gonna happen. If I'm in it for 20 seconds or 10, I will be more than happy because I didn't think I was gonna be in it, and I certainly didn't know I was gonna be Martian Manhunter until after Zack revealed it. They made the Justice League happen, but I'm gonna say I don't know if I'm in it at all. All I could say, Adam, is that full justice won't be done until there's the Martian Manhunter movie.
