Bill Skarsgård, a talented actor known for his versatile roles, portrays the character of “Boy” in the world of “Boy Kills World.” A totalitarian regime, ruled by the evil Van Der Koy family, is the backdrop of this gory and violent film. Boy is a deaf and voiceless orphan who seeks vengeance for his family’s murder after being rescued by a mysterious shaman.
Skarsgård’s performance heavily relies on expressions and body language as he brings to life the character of Boy. In preparation for the role, he underwent an impressive physical transformation, losing 20 pounds to build a lean and sinewy physique. Despite the lack of spoken dialogue from Skarsgård, H. Jon Benjamin provides the character’s inner voice through his work on “Bob’s Burgers.”
“Boy Kills World” is likened to a video game with hyper-realistic elements by Famke Janssen, who also stars in the film alongside Brett Gelman. The cast includes Bill Skarsgård, Jessica Rothe, Isaiah Mustafa, Andrew Koji, Yayan Ruhian, Famke Janssen, Michelle Dockery, and Brett Gelman.
The film is set to release in theaters and offers a unique cinematic experience that blends elements of action, drama, and dark humor. Director Moritz Mohr and the cast members share their thoughts on the film and their favorite martial arts movies in an interview.
