Was that an interesting challenge, only having voice to work with? Was that difficult in terms of still getting the character across?

You know, it is – it’s a different thing, because Wolverine in a way is very powerful and intense, and yet in another way he’s kind of laid back. He’s always got a line, and sometimes you can rely more on your facial expressions in the film than you can in the videogame.

Were you impressed with the quality of the writing in the videogame script?

Yeah, absolutely, and in fact I was able to bring some of the lines of dialogue from the game script into the movie, because I liked how well it was written – the game production overlapped with the film, so it was possible to make those changes.

Do you feel the game is a good vehicle for expanding on the storyline, building on Wolverine’s universe?

It really is, because a game is much longer than a movie -- it allows you to develop subplots and characters in a way that there isn’t time for in the film. The game expands on certain episodes in the film. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but there are some sequences that the movie only touches on, which the game explores much more in-depth.

And you feel a certain pride of ownership in the character, I imagine.

Yeah, I’ve been playing Wolverine for ten years now, so I want to make sure he’s presented in the best possible way.

Thanks for talking with us.

Thank you.
