In a new video featurette for The Black Phone, Ethan Hawke explains why he choose to play The Grabber in the new horror film The Black Phone.
Scott Derrickson may have stepped aside from helming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but he’s back in theaters this week with his latest horror film, The Black Phone. Derrickson cast Ethan Hawke in the leading role as The Grabber, a sadistic serial killer and the nightmarish villain in the film. Aside from his recent turn in Moon Knight, Hawke hasn’t played too many bad guy roles. But in a new featurette from Universal Pictures, Hawke explains what drew him to The Grabber and why he agreed to play the part. The Black Phone takes place in the late ’70s, a time before the internet and Amber alerts.
