Insider Insights from the Cast of “Warfare”
Joseph Quinn, Cosmo Jarvis, and Kit Connor recently discussed their latest film, “Warfare,” which draws inspiration from writer-director Ray Mendoza’s real-life experiences as a Navy SEAL during the Iraq War.
In an interview with “Extra’s” Adam Weissler, the trio not only shared their thoughts on the film but also touched on the exciting developments in the Marvel universe, specifically regarding the casting announcement for “Avengers: Doomsday.”
Joseph Quinn, known for his role as Johnny Storm/Human Torch in the “Fantastic Four,” confirmed his involvement in the new Avengers film. He teased fans about a new take on his superhero costume, stating, “I think we’re going to go tighter with the suit this time.” He added, “We’re going to really see how far we can go with that,” hinting at a fresh and dynamic approach to the character.
Cosmo Jarvis, who also stars in the upcoming series “Shōgun,” had limited information to share about the new season, simply mentioning, “I know that they’re working on it. They’re working very hard.”
When the conversation turned to “Warfare,” Jarvis elaborated on the contributions of Mendoza and co-director Alex Garland to the film. He noted that Mendoza’s focus was on delivering authentic experiences related to the lives of soldiers, while Garland approached the project with a more artistic lens. “He was very concerned with truth. He really wanted it to be true, and that’s obviously, from an artistic perspective, an amazing thing,” Jarvis remarked.
Kit Connor highlighted the sense of camaraderie developed among the cast during filming, recalling their three weeks of intensive boot camp training. He remarked, “There was almost an expectation for us to live in each other’s space, basically. There wasn’t any room for a recluse. We had to sort of act as a unit, as a team.”
Connor characterized the atmosphere on set as nurturing and expressed his admiration for the talented cast, saying, “I really respected and appreciated” everyone involved.
Quinn referred to the boot camp experience as a “luxury,” explaining, “We learned a lot within that amount of time and we used that time to rehearse the material that was seen in the film… We did some weapons training and then we did some maneuver training.” He emphasized the importance of the boot camp in establishing a supportive group dynamic, calling it a “culture of care” that was “essential” for their performances.
“Warfare” is set to be released on April 11, promising an engaging and authentic portrayal of military life shaped by the real experiences of those who have served.
