Austin Butler & Jodie Comer The Bikeriders Interview

Oscar-nominee Austin Butler (Dune: Part Two) and Emmy-winner Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) are killing it in Hollywood, and neither seems able to ease off the throttle. Together, they lead writer-director Jeff Nichols' latest period piece, The Bikeriders, alongside Tom Hardy (Venom), in a gritty look back at the turmoil of 1960s America. The trio is joined by The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus, Boyd Holbrook (Justified: City Primeval), Mike Faist (Challengers), and, of course, Michael Shannon (Take Shelter).
Inspired by the photography of Danny Lyon, The Bikeriders depicts a time when "there was a lot of unease in the world," Comer tells Collider's Steve Weintraub. The '60s were rife with social unrest, and Nichols navigates that through a particular subculture with Johnny's (Hardy) motorcycle club, the Chicago Vandals, where he recruits a devout and "beautiful" Benny (Butler). At the heart of the film is Benny's warring relationship with the Vandals and Kathy (Comer), whose memories during an interview narrate the club's journey from a family of outsiders to a ruthless gang.
In this interview, Butler and Comer discuss the "sense of nostalgia" Nichols approaches this time "since passed" with, and why Butler finds common ground with his character, Benny. He talks about crafting this "enigma" of a man with Nichols - blushing in the process - and Comer shares her not-so-method tactics for nailing that Chicago accent.

My respect always doubles for actors that can do undetectable accents (not their native language) in their characters

If they ever make Biker Mice from Mars live action one day, they should cast Austin Butler as Throttle, Tom Hardy as Modo, Norman Reedus as Vinnie
