The True Adventures of Wolfboy tells the story of Paul, a young man who lives an isolated life with his father in upstate New York. He finds making friends impossible due to a rare condition he has known as congenital hypertrichosis - an affliction that causes an abnormal amount of hair growth all over his face and body. On his 13th birthday, Paul receives a mysterious gift that compels him to run away and seek out the mother he has never known. You can read our spoiler-free review by clicking here.
Directed by Martin Krejcí and written by Olivia Dufault (Legion), the movie stars Chris Messina, Eve Hewson, Michelle Wilson, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Sophie Giannamore, Chloë Sevigny, John Turturro, and lead Jaeden Martell. Recently, we had the opportunity to catch up with the IT, Knives Out, and Defending Jacob star to discuss his role as Paul in the touching Indie movie.
We'll bring you the full interview tomorrow, but in the meantime, we thought you'd be interesting in hearing Jaden's thoughts on possibly starring in a future superhero movie. "I don't know," he admitted when we asked if there are any Marvel or DC roles which interest the actor. "I grew up as a bit of a comic book nerd, so I do love comic books. That's a hard question to answer!"
We had to point out that there are a lot of people online who believe he would be a great pick for Robin, and Jaeden responded: "Oh, a good Robin? Okay, I'll take that. That would be fun [Laughs]."
The True Adventures of Wolfboy star would definitely make for a great Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, or Tim Drake, and he could quite easily fit into The Batman franchise or even something like The Flash. Time will tell, but Martell's star is clearly on the rise, and a superhero project is likely on the horizon.
What do you guys think?
