Poor Things Interview: Mark Ruffalo Thought Doing the Role Was Wrong at First

Like their on-screen counterparts, established actors Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo are still exploring their own arcs within the industry. Each film allows them the opportunity to learn, grow and evolve their craft, like Poor Things which presented them with a new opportunity to discover untapped talent within themselves.

In Poor Things, Dafoe plays an unusual and curious scientist, Dr. Godwin Baxter. He conducts extreme experiments in the depths of his London mansion accompanied by one of his more successful creations – Bella Baxter (Emma Stone). In Yorgos Lanthimos' latest, Stone embodies a reanimated corpse with the mind of a child whose adolescent delight allows her to explore the bizarre world around her free from the expectations of society. Her journey is kick-started when the smooth-talking Duncan Wedderburn (Ruffalo) whisks Bella away on a coming-of-age adventure.

In an interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, Dafoe discusses crafting a fantastical feature like Poor Things with an auteur like Lanthimos and Ruffalo explains how important that unforgettable dance scene was to Duncan's arc. They also share how their careers are able to evolve when they free themselves from the constraints of public expectations, including joining this project.
