In an exclusive interview with Looper to talk about Thunder Force, Cannavale said he found a kindred spirit as it pertains to his subtle approach to comedy in costar Jason Bateman, who plays one of The King's underlings, simply known as "The Crab." The method he and Bateman use, Cannavale said, is relatively simple, but highly effective: Play the characters honestly without trying to make them funny. (It's a strategy that pays off, as you can probably tell from this one Thunder Force scene that makes us love Jason Bateman even more.)
Cannavale told Looper that Bateman was "constantly thinking" while working on Thunder Force, and when they would shoot their scenes together, the duo made sure they "weren't playing any jokes" no matter how outrageous their characters were. With The Crab, in particular, he may look unusual, but below the surface is a conflicted villain who is not quite sure if he completely agrees with the way The King is going about his power play.
"We were playing real circumstances. [In Thunder Force], he works for me. And if there's going to be some kind of an insurrection that he's going to lead, it's going to lead to serious consequences," Cannavale explained. "I mean, I think the fact that we're playing it as straight as we are, I mean, you just got to laugh because the circumstances are so silly."
